Beach Bum for Life

This weekend we've taken a break from bicycle building with some time at the beach, shopping with Joanna (a carioca we met through a friend at PUCi), and hanging out at the local pubs.  I love soaking up the sun on the beach (maybe a little too much considering my awful sunburn).  There are always so many interesting people out in Ipanema (beautiful Brazilian families, toned men in their speedos or sungas, Cariocas playing volleyball/soccer/or a mix of both). Is it possible to sneak a beach back in your suitcase? :)

Much busier than it appears
