Day 6- Domingo 22/5/11

I went to Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro and it was awesome. People are always walking around selling stuff such as food, clothes, and accessories. One person was even selling shrimp on a skewer, it looked delicious. What I love about the beaches here are all the sports going on! Besides soccer being everywhere, there are a lot of volleyball games going on as well as a game I have never seen before. It’s similar to racquetball, but there is a net behind each player, and each player is facing each other. It’s some sort of paddle that they hit the ball back and forth to each other, I believe when the ball hits the net behind the player then the other gets some kind of point. Who knows, but it was fun to watch and they really got into it. Also, you know you are a tourist when your swimsuit covers your entire butt. I have never seen so many butts in one day, because the girls wear thong bikinis. The guys wear Speedos, just proving they are open people. We took the ferry over to Rio de Janeiro, so the view was amazing to look at during the day and the night. We learned the hard way that to get good sun we need to get to the beach at least by 11 o’clock. The sun sets really early in Brazil, which means three o’clock is more when the sun is starting to set. Overall, a mellow dayJ.
