Central Rio

 

Easy to get to by Metro, but well forewarned to watch out for problems.

 

This is where I got off the subway and was impressed. This was excellent and better than expected.

 

Rio's magnificent opera house and theater. You can see from the tour busses, this was a major place to visit. I saw groups following leaders with flags, but that was them. I hate that.

 

 

 

A little drizzle alternated with sun and that made for these either being useful in rain or sunshine. Those sellers had it all covered. This is a central city plaza and behind the fence a small market.

 

There was a lot of stuff like this for sale here. I had walked far enought to find the next Metro station, but not yet, not by a long shot.

 

I went here and found one of those buffet places. The steets were packed with suited business types. The lunch was good and reasonable and later I was warned by a lawyer type to not flash the camera around, that there were thieves around. You notice once again. Harleys are popular in Brazil.

 

 

I had a map, but problems figuring it out. I finally devised a way and got to the very modern cathedral.
