Around Rio - walking the beaches

From the edge of Copacabana (the Arpoador) to Alta Leblon the walk along the seawall takes about 45 minutes to an hour each way. The variation in the color of the sea and the sky makes the walk seem different each time I walk it. On either end is a pile of rocks with the sea often breaking up and over, sometimes appearing placid and restful, inviting sitting and reflecting. On Sundays the street next to the sea wall is closed to traffic and open to pedestrians - adding another layer of variety to what you can see.
