Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 29oC, hot, sunny, and slightly overcast. After the stress of Sunday, a long sleep, and an early rise at 4:00 a.m., things were looking better.

Consequently, economic forecasts for the next […]

Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, hot, Sunny and slightly overcast. An excellent hot, sweaty and stuffy Tuesday. When I started working out about a year and a half ago, I would do seven or eight exercises; now, I’m doing between 12 and 15.

The street has a charming ambience, with lush trees flanking both sides. It also boasts an array of shops, bars, and restaurants that cater more to tourists. Additionally, a few 3- and 4-star hotels are located […]
