Considering the Windsor Palace Hotel in Rio de Janeiro?

Rio. The city's so popular that you don't even have to mention the whole name. Just the word "Rio" brings wonderful images to the traveler's mind. Long, curving beaches of pale sand. Girls in skimpy bikinis. Dramatic mountains and amazing sunsets. Wait a second!!! What happened to the sun? During my visit, I didn't have much sunshine at all. The first couple days were soppy messes, but not complete washouts. This trip put my whole "pothole" theory (see my homepage) to the test, but fortunately things worked out great (as they normally do).
