Well they say there is a first time for everything in life … here is one of mine!

In this video, I share pictures that I recently took while traveling four days in a row on the back seat of a Harley Davidson (Electra HLAD Classic 100 Anniversary edition) within Wisconsin state.

It was a beautiful, long weekend.  I was introduced to the world of bikers (mainly Harley’s tribe) and learned about  their culture and lifestyle. Also I met lots of interesting people and saw beautiful places, including small cities such as Tomahawk.

Nope, I did not get tattoos, bandannas or heavy boots. But I enjoyed the experience! Have fun! :)

It’s Labor Day weekend! Though Chicago has plenty of tourists, the weekend started very quite in downtown. No traffic at all and I’m enjoying it.  Chicagoans definitely have left the city to spend this long weekend somewhere else.

For those outside U.S., Labor Day is a national holiday that is over 100 years old. In Brazil, we celebrated it on May 1st.

Above e is my favorite picture today. Took it at Onshore drive this morning.

I just got back to Chicago from my trip to Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, Brazil. I spent almost two weeks there and took  lots of pictures. Here is my first one: The Cristo Redentor (Christ the Redeemer), Rio de Janeiro.

Built in 1931, the statue was named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and it stands 30 metres (98 ft) wide and 38 metres (120 ft) tall with its pedestal. It is located at the peak of the 700 metres (2,300 ft) Corcovado mountain in the Tijuca Forest National Park overlooking the city. It is one of the tallest of its kind in the world.

Yep, the view of the city from the top of Corcovado is gorgeous!
