Our last night in Rio we went to dinner at the restaurant in Ipanema where the song “girl from Ipenema” was written. The man wrote it about a pretty girl who walked by each day on the way to the beach. Apparently she is an old woman now, but still walks past to the beach. It was a cute restaurant with awesome food.
We ended the evening at a favela party. The party was held in a huge warehouse located within one of the local favelas. It was not as scary as we expected, but as usual the men were all over Stephanie and my blond hair. We stayed upstairs where the beers were only one reai (50 cents) and danced to the blaring music. The party ended at four, so we were especially tired our final day in Rio.
We spent our last day in South America walking the beach and admiring the courage of the Brazilians to wear such skimpy swimming suits. Everyone here walks the streets in their suits and many of the women wear thongs and the men speedos!
