Brazil 2024: Rio day 2

Here is a link to the hotel we stayed, in Miramar on Copacabana.

It was wonderful. Right across the street from the beach. Perfect for sudoku on my ipad in the lobby.

Funny that I always have breakfast.

This time instead of “everything” in the omlette, I am able to say ham cheese spinach. NOT in Portugues.
The view out the window at breakfast.
The beach early in the morning.
Morning workout on the beach
People moving along the beach bike path. Note the 5 on circular building back right.

That is the way you can tell where you are along the beach! The numbers are going up as you go North. But they are pretty far apart.

We are on our way up Sugarloaf Mountain bu cable car. There is a stop 1/2 way and this is from there.
This is from the top.
We are down, looking back up, and ready to take a taxi to the Portuguese Library.
Then onto lunch near by at the Cafe Colombo. Great old place with stain glass sky light
We are on the less desirable second floor. Great old elevator, not shown, that only takes 2? people!
A friend alone the road?
Heading down from our trolly ride and lunch in the Santa Teresa neighborhood. Very worthwhile!
