Road to Rio

Finally we're leaving Sao Paulo and taking what will turn out to be a 7-hour bus ride with Cirque members to Rio.
Here's a few pix from the trip. The scenery was very green and I would say subtropical with a hint of California as we dropped in elevation from about 1000 meters to sea level. At one point about an hour out we started a series of switchbacks-this is where I snapped this shot.
