Subject: Post: <p>Yesterday was a hot day. The forecast for Rio was 47C, I didn't see a temperature meter during the day but it definitely was a lot hotter than during the previous days. In the late afternoon taxi thermometer said 40C, but at that point it had cooled a couple of degrees already. Urgh.. I'm fine with sub-40C temperatures, but that was a bit too much to walk around.</p><p>Anyway, we still went to check out Escadaria Selarón, large steps covered by ceramics by one man alone, the artist Jorge Selarón.</p><p>The air temperature required a beach, so we first tried a beach near the steps and the airport, Flamengo beach which was said to be much more peaceful than the famous ones. Well, it was peaceful, but also a bit dirty and not so nice, so we just continue to Copacabana again. As it was a windy day the waves were huge and fun. :)</p><p>Rio carnival started yesterday, so the city was already full of carnival-dressed people from the morning and late in the evening there were street parties at Copacabana. The huge parties in Lapa me and Iryna saw only on a taxi TV screen as we totally passed out after returning to home, for a twelve-hour sleep. The long travel days finally required that. The others went to Lapa around midnight and returned late in the night.</p> Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
