Around the World in 30 Posts!

WELCOME!

Aroud The World in 30 Days. Now Yesterday's Clue was: "I am a tall statue representing Christ. What am I? Where am I?"

The answer is: Christ Reedemer in Brazil!




Now, Christ Redeemer is a tall standing statue of Christ with his arms spreading out. The statue was built in the 1931. The construction started in 1922 and was completed by 1931. The cost of the monument was $250,000, which is pretty cheap compared to the statues that they are building now. It is located at Corcovado Mountain in the Tijuca Forest National Park overlooking the city.
The original design for this statue was made by a man named Oswald. He had designed it to have a globe in one, and standing over a pedestal symbolizing the world. The reason why it was built was to show that the Christ loves all. Whether you are a believer or a non believer.
On 7/ July, 2007, it was honored as one of the New Seven Wonders Of The World.
This is one of the neat cities that I want to go too. Who knows? Maybe I could travel there in a couple of years?

Today's Clue for Tomorrow: I pour out lots and lots of water. Where am I? What am I?

Tune in tomorrow to find out where we are going next on our Day 2 of Around the World in 30 Days! Until then, see ya!
