1/3/04: Happy New Year

Rio de Janeiro was millions of giddy people packed along Copacabana, one of the biggest New Year's Eve parties on Earth I'm told, an absolutely apocalyptic fireworks show culminating with the military base that sits between Copacabana and Ipanema exploding into the water, corks and firecrackers and flowers flying everywhere, screaming into the hot salty air, heroic amounts of beer drinking, conked out groups sleeping in the sand, met up with some old friends, made lots of new friends, enjoyed the city's slight familiarity for me and finally seeing such an amazingly iconic skyline again, and despite its obvious point of entry, I'm completely convinced that this is my favorite place in the world.
