Last night was our final night to enjoy the nightlife of the beautiful city of Rio de Janeiro. I had a big knot in my chest for as the daylight hours faded into dawn and finally to darkness. We spent some of the last daylight hours sitting beachside catching up on some sketches and enjoying the sound of the ocean and the breeze. As it started to get darker we left Copacabana Beach to watch the sun set on the Two Brothers of Ipanema Beach. We climbed the boulders on the nearest side of the beach and watched the sun go down on the opposite side. It was quiet and peaceful. Many people were there with there with their significant others (because its an excellent date spot), some were fishing or enjoying the company of friends, and others were just sitting peacefully. Though there were many people there, not many talked and conversed. We were all fixated on the setting sun and watching the city turn from day to night as we listened to the waves crash on the rocks. It was by far one of the coolest sunsets I’ve ever watched. That experience really showed me how much I fell in love with the city and its people in short week of our stay.
