Tourism day 2 (post workshop)
Braving Rio’s complex bus system with my non-existent Portuguese, I spent the morning and lunch time at magnificent Jardim Botânico.
Turtle Island! A home for stray turtles.
Ipanema Beach [22 59 14 S, 43 12 13 W], rather than Copacabana, is the place to be seen these days.
Views from the headland of Arpoador [22 59 25 S, 43 11 28 W], which divides the beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana.
Sand sculpture on Copacabana.
