Ipanema Beach

From Shar & Wingy´s American Adventure in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Feb 25 '06

.... Spent the morning at Ipanema beach swimming and doing more people watching.  The waves were pretty rough and we both got dumped a few times.  Some people even had to be rescued by the sea helicopter.

There was an aerial show overhead with old WWII planes which Wingy was very happy to see.

Returned to the guesthouse for our flight to Iguassu Falls.  This has been a great place to stay - I was really really worried about staying here because the travel agent that booked our internal flights said that this was a really bad part of town - but it turned out to be a fun place to stay with a great crowd, central location and little monkeys in the trees!  The villa was pretty cool too - blue walls, yellow windows and heaps of hammocks.
