Copacabana Beach

It was a crazy transformation from a near empty beach to this, still way below capacity, but at least more interesting. One of my friends who was here during the World Soccer Cup, spoke of the huge tent that is being set up in the background. Ultimately, there will be large screens on which to watch the various Olympic events, for those who don't manage or don't want to buy tickets.

The expected beach attire for women, for better or for worse.

While little girls just were having fun.

I just noticed, this thing leaves no tracks, at least not on dry sand.

I was now past the big tent, and someone had ordered a drink and this guy walked a long way to get it to her.

I ended up doubling back and going into town to find my Metro station.

As far as I knew, it was up this main street, to the end, then hang a left and keep walking. I really did find it that way. I was hungry, the weather iffy, and I wanted to get back to my familiar neighborhood and the buffet eatery there.
