Arpoador

Arpoador - Winter in Rio

Being on vacation in Leblon is really wonderful. I woke up early because I forgot to close the shades, went out to buy fresh bread at Zona Sul, not a person in sight. I had breakfast with cappuccino, minas cheese, bread and papaya. It would already be a wonderful day. It was still early, I decided to walk on the boardwalk, which was strangely empty for a weekday, a winter day in Rio. Nothing better than walking and not feeling hot, I arrived at Arpoador looking like I had just left home. A cool breeze, a beautiful sunny day.

Unbelievable that I, having lived so many years in Rio, had never gone up the Arpoador Rock. But today, with everything empty, I couldn’t resist. How beautiful. It’s worth waking up early one day to do this. Many people will say goodbye to the day there. I prefer the morning, on a winter sunny day. I hope I can repeat this many times.
