We spent the first part of the day walking along Ipanema beach, before deciding that the overcast skies made the hilltop community of Santa Theresa more appealing for our first day in Rio. We took the bonde up which like the San Francisco trolleys is a fun way to travel. Amidst the disrepair of the buildings, we could still see what a luxurious place it used to be. We went to a gutted mansion, a private art collector's home turned museum, and had our first taste of the deliciousness of Brazilian meat and pumpkin stew.
