We went on an Azamara cruise during Rio Carnival February 2015 and ended up on São Conrado Beach on the south side of Rio and Judy saw hang gliders and wanted to do it. Being deathly afraid of heights, I reluctantly agreed. We signed up with Rio Hang Gliding operated by hang gliding master Konrad Heilmann and up the mountain we drove to the top of Pedra Bonita, 2274 feet above sea level. Judy went first and then I went after her. It was the experience of a lifetime! Thanks Konrad for letting Judy wear your running shoes for landing since she had on high heels!
