Copacabana
not going fast, working the calves

good scenery

Out this evening, I met a Swiss living in Denmark, a Swiss-Brazilian from Lausanne, a Waterford boy, a Dubliner doing math-phys in Rio (so he knew of IMPA), an English Ukraine-analyst with Ali's name and Ali's gestures but Becks' accent, and a Swede who spoke fifteen languages, including Finnish (though he seemed to think koska meant when), and taught Portuguese at university but was more or less deaf since some IRA London bombing in 1975. Apparently he also ducked a couple of weeks later when a bomb was being chucked inside Scotts from a passing car.

Ipanema!

Abrão to Lopes Mendes, the latter being one of the prettier beaches on the planet, according to some. Not convinced it beats Keem, but who am I to judge?

Stopped off for a Fanta one beach before, hit the spot. And walked the other beaches, soaking up cool.

Two nights before, I spent 12 hours in bed, woke up still not feeling great. Last night I had trouble going to sleep, so figured I am healthy. So good to get out for a run.

I have a new sister.

Lopes Mendes to home. Stopped off early for a bottle of water, way tooooo cold.
