Arpoador . . .

 . . .the nexus of Copacabana and Ipanema that is always vital and uplifting!

A lazy Sunday morning abed, reading and coffee-ing and blipping, before walking all the way along to Ipanema and a beer in one of the still extant beer kiosks on the front, there.  

Then lunch in Didier which we have been on the brink of for a couple of years . . . actually, very good and its French slant a nice break from the usual Brazilian fayre.
