Hiking up the Corcovado where the famous statue of Christ the Redeemer stands. It was a nice and steep climb! The current fad is for one tourist to lie on his back and for the other to imitated Jesus by spreading his arms, and thus catching both tourist #2 and Christ the Redeemer with the same gesture on a single picture. Usually Jesus looks grim and tourist #2 wears an exaggerated grin.
I wonder what the tourists are trying to tell their loved ones when they show these pictures. “Look, mom. I behave like a misanthrope, but I can spread my arms like Jesus!”
