Rio de Janeiro

These cards from Ted Riley are all from the first three ports of the cruise.  Ted was writing to his wife or relative and didn't provide too much about his experiences.

This group of cards are from the visit to Rio de Janeiro.  "We came into the harbor by this big rock and could see it from our ship.  The town is directly opposite Rio and connected by ferry boats."
