Italian for lunch and a walk along Copacabana

We got back from Sugarloaf about 1:30 p.m. and decided it was time for a lunch. Right around the corner was a very tasty little Italian place. Lots of locals and completely full after we sat down of course. We had a lovely pizza and a Caesar salad and it was just a very nice experience. Then we walked along Copacabana beach for almost the entire length. The theme for the walk was Sports! We saw soccer with the feet, volleyball with the hands, volleyball with the knees feet head and forearms, handball with a net  paddle ball without a net and paddle ball with a net.

Time to get some lunch

After we left there was a line to get in

They split the dishes right next to me

Hunger satiated 

Pizza craving fulfilled

Copacabana 

The oil rig from before 

It turns out that this is a construction drill used for drilling out locations for bridge pilings

It's the queen

Waving to her subjects

An intense soccer game

Paddle ball with a net

The design on the beach

Hand ball with a goal
