Urban contrasts

  

And keeping to its fame of city on the beach, this is one of the majour attractions of Rio de Janeiro; Ipanema beach, just south of the city centre, with all the commodities of a big city just across the street. And it is a beach where ambulant vendors provide anything a person might need or want to have a relaxing time.

It is a tough life, hanging out on the beach, but if someone has to do it...

We love the beach, but the one we usually go to doesn't have vendors. We have to bring everything with us.
