Ipanema Beach




After the favela we went to the Ipanema beach for a quick lunch. The beach was stunningly beautiful but nearly empty. The day was one of the coldest of the year in Rio at around 65 degrees Fahrenheit. This is not the Rio beach scene I had been looking forward to! Well, I would have another chance on Sunday.

Not all was lost. The beach really was lovely and peaceful and then we noticed the hang gliders. There were about 8 of them floating lazily in the air above the beach and then landing one by on the beach nearby.
