These photographs were taken by Curtis Jay Correll during Winter Term and Spring Term of 2014 in Rio de Janeiro. These photographs were part of the Study Abroad Photo Exhibit on October 14, 2014. Curtis Jay Correll is a member of the class of 2015 of Washington and Lee University. Student statement about their experience: "My time in Brazil was a crazy experience! I knew no one going in, and I left with new Brazilian friends who helped me develop into a better person. While there I saw both how different circumstances and mindsets can be in different places but also how similar people are everywhere in the world. Rio de Janeiro was an amazing city for me to live in. The history and culture are fascinating, and the mountains and beaches make for the best outdoor living I've ever experienced. Between sunrises in the Amazon, hikes to Cristo Redentor, cable cars to the top of Pão de Açucar, my local team's soccer games in Maracanã, days spent on the beach and the Carnaval parade in the Sambódromo, the experiences I had there will stick with me forever. I learned lessons that will last for a lifetime, and I will never forget the blessing it was to call Rio my home for a semester!"
