Pão de Açúcar

Hey there lovelies. I took these photos yesterday after taking a (long) walk through Humaitá and Botafogo to Urca, the neighborhood surrounding the famous Pão de Açúcar. I’ve been up the morro once on the bonde or gondola. There are two stops and a gorgeous view of the city. I wouldn’t mind doing it again but yesterday was just about checking out a little fair they had in the praça below called Carioquíssima, full of food and clothing vendors. I hung out for a bit, enjoying the sunshine, and then headed back but stumbled on a skateboard competition along the way. It was a lovely Saturday. Today I met up with my friend Rane for a super fun and hot day at the beach. It has been so rainy this week. Today was a wonderful little vitamin D dose. I may have finally gotten rid of my shorts tan haha. 

Ei, ai amores. Eu tirei essas fotos ontem depois de fazer um (longo) passeio pelo Humaitá e Botafogo até a Urca, bairro vizinho ao famoso Pão de Açúcar. Eu fui até o morro uma vez no bonde. Há duas paradas e uma vista deslumbrante da cidade. Pode ser que eu fazer isso de novo, mas ontem foi só para conferir uma feira, Carioquíssima, que eles tinham na praça abaixo, cheia de vendedores de comida e roupas. Eu saí um pouco, aproveitando o sol, e então voltei, mas tropecei em uma competição de skate ao longo do caminho. Foi um lindo sábado. Hoje eu me encontrei com meu amigo Rane para um dia super divertido e quente na praia. Tem sido tão chuvoso esta semana. Hoje foi uma dose maravilhosa de vitamina D. Eu posso ter finalmente me livrado do meu short tan haha.

Huntington Beach | Labor Day

Yesterday I drove all the way to work, arriving at 7:30 am, only to realize that the entire building was locked. My boss told me over the phone to just take the day off - a very awesome surprise! I even got paid for my time in the car so all's good in the hood.  I decided to go check out a new beach and Huntington was the lucky winner! I hadn't gotten enough fun in the sun when I got home so I hit the pool.  And to top my day off, I did a moonlit workout in the backyard. I'd say Labor Day was a huge success. I hope you all had a wonderful day!
