Solstice 2016

Solstice season is in full swing and marks the longest, brightest day of the year. And what makes this day extra special is that it arrives with a glowing full moon along with Jupiter, Saturn and Mars in the night sky. What I absolutely love is that after Monday our daylight hours will decrease , and its not that I do not enjoy summer in all its glorious sunlight, but do prefer nightish activities in much cooler weather.

A few interesting facts about the summer solstice is that it marks the midpoint between the planting and harvesting seasons, and a June full moon has not occurred on the solstice since 1948…. wow!!!

Listed are a few sites from the gorgeous seaside city of Rio, which is famed for its many points of interest; such as Christ the Redeemer statue atop Mt. Corcovado, Copacabana and Ipanema beaches and Sugarloaf peak at the mouth of Guanabara Bay is where you will find our travel team this season, scouting out the beaches and city before the summer Olympics begin on August 5th.

Imagine walking on this beach in the morning before work, you would never have a bad day and most certainly look forward to an evening swim to round out the day.

Travel stylishly,
