Saturday

We walked around Cocacobana and Ipanema yesterday. Had a great time watching all the people! Lots of Parade groups on street corners with the bands dancing and having a great time. Most people are dressed normal but there was a lot of men dressed like woman (not just gay men either) On the beach there was a lot of "lost" swimsuits. People really do not care if they should be wearing a string bikinis! We learned that we should only order one thing to eat. They do not give out "doggie" bags so we wasted a full meal between the 2 of us. You think they would have told us. The first place would only let us order the appetizer and we were full. The second place let us each order a meal - I ended up with 2 pieces of steak and enough other stuff to feed a family of 4. But I did find out I REALLY love Caprihinas - the limes were good but the tropical ones were YUMMY!!!! I am so looking forward to trying more today - there was 5 flavors!
Today I skipping the fashionable flip flops for tennis shoes - comfort over fashion today! Too much walking.
