Remembering my first day 1 in Rio...
From the airport we traveled to that part of Rio known for its beach - the Copacabana. We checked-in at Rio Othon Palace which is a beachfront hotel but the rooms were not yet ready for occupancy for at least an hour. Our new-found Brazilian lomo friend Fernanda (nandaurbano) who volunteered to be our guide took us for a walk along the boulevard. It was a memorable sunny day.
