Amazed by Rio

We got to explore Rio a little bit more today, mainly around Ipanema and Capacabana beach. It is so good to lay on the beach and run into the sea. I saw a lot of interesting trees along the beaches and streets, which I think we might be able to see some of them in the botanical garden.

 

 

 

 

 

I think this is Ficus microcarpa, which I used to see a lot in south China. It has those interesting roots on its branches.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don’t know the name of this plant. I found this on the sidewalk around Ipanema area. It looks like a scaled pineapple.

This is a tree I saw on the way to the Capacabana beach. It has some hanging planter attached on its trunk. A living planter!!!

Vanessa introduced this Rio snack to us on Ipanema beach, it is called Globo. It has two tastes- sweet and salty and will melt in your mouth.

We are sharing the Globo together, I like the sweet one 😉

We had an amazing lunch/dinner in “nomangue”. We had a combination of different seafoods. The grilled lobster is so good. You can almost smell the fresh air from the sea.
