Then last night we went to a soccer game between two rival Rio de Janeiro teams. It was wild - in the background you can see the flares and flags waving after a goal by the Flamengo (red & black) team. 
Today, it was still a bit cloudy and misty, so we went to the Botanical Gardens. They were very pretty - we saw more monkeys in the trees! Here is one in action.
When I saw this bit of bamboo across the trail, of course I had to do the limbo to get past it. haha
The guide book said this was a popular place to do wedding photos. As it was a bit muddy and rainy today, we didn't see any brides wandering around. 
Tonight we had dinner at Porcao - an all you can eat meat & buffet place. I did as Mark told me and got my money in meat before eating any side dishes. It was super good!! And then to top it off, for dessert, we each had a fantastic chocolate covered strawberry... it was like a strawberry that was encased in some yummy creamy stuff and then dipped in the hard shell chocolate. It was the best chocolate strawberry I've every had and the perfect small bit of dessert to end the meal.

Can you bring me a marmoset?

i really like how you are eye'ing that stack of meat. you look hungry. hahahaaaa
haha gardenpinkie! That is what Mark said - but I was really just kinda mad he was taking my picture... :D
I'm glad you liked the game!!!
It was penalty and unluckly, the 9 failed scoring!!!
Hope you guys have a great time in Rio. For sunday, you can go Hype Fair in Ipanema or walking uphill at Leme hill (you have a wonderfull view of Copacabana Beach).
Cheers
