We’re dating ourselves by saying this, but Linda Hoernke’s new journal comes at the perfect time to celebrate her ninth anniversary as an IgoUgo member. And of all places, she’s sharing her trip to the very celebratory town of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Perfect for a party!

Besides being festive, Rio is a sprawling city, but Ms. Hoernke does it justice with 12 reviews and more than 50 photos from her recent stay. She recommends a Copacabana hotel; reviews three restaurants, one of which she visited three of her 10 nights in Rio (a fitting feat for our loyal IgoUgo writer); and covers a wide range of attractions from the famous hilltop Christ the Redeemer to the infamous hillside favelas.

Join us in thanking Linda Hoernke for these and nine years’ worth of tips--and here’s to many more!
