Why else to spend Christmas in Rio? We spent the day at Ipanema Beach — we found Copacabana more interesting for a walk, but Ipanema a bit cleaner.
Everyone loved the açaí smoothies.
We perpetually ordered too much food on this trip — if ever in Rio, remember to ask whether the entree is a single serving, or family style! But doesn’t this look like a feast appropriate for Christmas Eve? Delicious, all.
