Klonowo On the day and year above [06 December 1746], I, the same as above [Jakub Antoni Chełchowski, Registrar, The Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary], baptized a female with the name Marianna, daughter of the legally married couple, the nobles Ignacy and Zofia Niedziałkowski. The godparents were the well-born Antoni Pajewski and the noble Teresa Niedziałkowska, an unmarried woman.
Marianna Niedziałkowska was my 5th great aunt.
The date of baptism was written in the baptismal record for Mikołaj Wiklowski, immediately preceding Marianna’s record. Then name of the priest who baptized Marianna was written in the baptismal record for Stanisław Zmobeński on the recto (front) side of the same page in the register.

Sugarloaf is an iconic peak bordering Guanabara Bay in Rio de Janeiro. To get to the top of Sugarloaf, tourists must take two cable cars, the first from the station at Praia Vermelha (Red Beach), and the second from the station at Morro da Urca (Urca Hill). Urca is an acronym for Urbanizaí§í£o Carioca (Carioca Urbanization). The cable car ends at the top of Sugarloaf. According to my tour guide, the indigenous inhabitants called the peak Pau-nh-aí§uquí£, and the Portuguese thought the name sounded like Pí£o de Aí§íºcar (Sugarloaf). The cable car system was modernized by Cristoví£o Leite de Castro in 1972.

Sugarloaf Mountain is one of the iconic sights in Rio de Janeiro. While the day continued to be overcast and the views from Sugarloaf were less than ideal, there was wildlife to be seen, including the Common Marmoset (Callithrix jacchus), the Argentine Black and White Tegu (Salvator merianae), the Black Vulture (Coragyps atratus), and the Magnificent Frigatebird (Fregata magnificens).

Caricocas (natives of Rio de Janeiro) love their beaches, and the beaches at Copacabana and Ipanema are among the most famous beaches in the world. The one day I had to explore Rio’s beaches was overcast with a sky threatening to rain. Even the beach-loving Cariocas stayed away from Copacabana Beach when I visited.

I arrived in Rio de Janeiro this morning after a very comfortable flight from San Francisco to Houston, and then from Houston to Rio de Janeiro. This is my second visit to Brazil, although it is my first visit to Rio de Janeiro. Rio de Janeiro (River of January) was named by the first Portuguese explorers who arrived at Guanabara Bay on 01 January 1502 and mistakenly thought the mouth of the harbor was a river.
Upon arriving, I immediately looked for a caixa automí¡tico (ATM) to withdraw some Brazilian currency, and then went outside to hail a taxi. One of the people organizing taxi rides asked me “Sozinho?” At first, I didn’t understand the word, but I quickly realized that she was asking if I was alone. When I nodded and answered “Sim” (Yes), she ushered me into one of the smaller taxis.
I asked the driver to take me to the Mauí¡ Port. The diver knew where the port was, but had a difficult time finding a route there. Because I arrived on the Saturday before Carnival, many of the streets around the port were closed for Carnival preparations. The driver finally navigated the street closures and brought me to the ship.
The photos below show the view of Rio from the ship, the Oceania Regatta.

Most people have heard of the flowering plants of the species Camellia japonica, Camellia reticulata, and the hybrid Camellia x williamsii, but even more people are familiar with another species: Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze. The leaves of Camellia sinsensis are used to make tea. I would not, however, recommend that one try to make tea from the leaves of the camillias shown here.

I’m not sure how many cultivars of camellias there are at Filoli, but I took photos of 30 different cultivars myself (including a few I only saw in the garden shop). Most of the camellias I saw were either around the front entrance to the mansion or in the woodland garden.
