A Cariocan Sunday Stroll (Sept ´11)

Every Sunday in Rio the roads beside the city beaches are closed to vehicles, which prompts the Cariocas to get into their lycra and burn some calories. Every possible attachment of wheels to
skates, boots and boards can be seen.

Ipanema is the busiest beach road on a Sunday, but Parque do Flamengo is more spacious and the perfect place to start learning to ride a bike ...

... or to try out a skateboard.

The road wides through Parque do Flamengo which has many interesting tropical trees. These provide welcome shade and great climbing frames.

The Sunday Cariocan theme continues with a homemade moqueca (Brazilian style fish and prawns cooked in coco milk and palm oil).

Happy days
