Runs on Copacabana and Ipanema Beaches

I was very lucky to spend several days in Rio de Janeiro this week.  I could run on beaches.

In the morning of Tuesday, I mainly ran on Copacabana Beach.  It was a bit late in AM, so it was so HOT.

A big side walk by the beach - so it was easy to run.

A couple looks at Ayrton Senna statue.

There was a filming of a show going on.

The view of the beach from the eastern end - Ponta do Leme. 

Then I ran back on the sandy beach.

I went over to Ipanema side a bit.

These are views from the eastern edge of Ipanema Beach.

Next morning, I could run mainly on Ipanema Beach - earlier in the morning.

Here's a walkway to the Beach on the east side.

I mainly ran on the sand first.

Views from the western end of the beach - Mirante do Leblon.

Then I ran back on the sidewalk.

A surfing school.

I ran in the city a bit - a gasoline station.

An area of Favela was seen on the hill.

Then back on Copacabana Beach.

I enjoyed the two runs very much.
