We interrupt this lazy weekend afternoon in Rio to bring you … a soccer game

My last afternoon in Rio. On beautiful autumn afternoons like these there’s not much to do except go sailing …



(for perceptive readers, you'll see that the large statue of Jesus is in the top left hand corner ... 10 John points if you did)

… Eat coconuts next to the beach …



Or play “beach soccer” as the sun goes down!



Instead, we thought we’d go watch a soccer game: Flamencos of Rio de Janeiro vs Santos of Sao Paulo.

It was a great atmosphere with lights …



Wild crowds that swore a lot in Portugeuse …



And guards – with 5 metre high fences next to the pitch so we couldn’t streak or invade it! Oh well!



Blessings
John
