Saturday morning in Rio
Yesterday we spent the morning on the beach at Leme; it was a momentous occasion for me as I chose to show the world my almost hairless head. It was probably the best place to take such a step. While one one is bearing her breasts or buttocks wearing little more than a shoe lace or him, tenderly covering his genitals with what looks like pocket handkerchief … My bald head went unnoticed.
So with a gladdened heart I move on to … Copacabana tomorrow
Meanwhile late yesterday afternoon we went the North-Eastern Fair we have been before, it something we look forward to doing. The journey was longer than we hoped the traffic was heavy; everybody getting out of the city on a Friday is a familiar experience. Our enjoyment was not spoiled by the lengthened journey. The fair is a place where Brazilian migrants from the north east come together at the weekend to enjoy their unique culture(s) There are shops, bars, restaurants and music a wonderful festival experience. To see is to believe!
Although the fair is a considered a tourist attraction, it not a place where you expect to see English sightseers so we looked a little out of place and felt at times overwhelmed ….
So yesterday was one of the days … for me a bit of this and a bit of that and the out come ‘Ok’
Glad you felt confident on the beach and you got to explore the fair.
Market – sorry, ha!
The process began on the beach and it has continued at the Market and in Rio today … so I am feeling a little more comfortable today … xx
Fantastic! xx
