Beaches!

Beaches are a HUGE part of life in Rio. You can do all sorts of stuff at beaches in Rio. Some popular things to do at the beach:

  • Play beach volleyball
  • Play beach football(soccer)
  • Juggle soccer  balls with friends by the water
  • Tightrope walking/tricks
  • Lounging/tanning in the sand
  • Surfing
  • Stand-up paddling 
  • Boogie boarding
  • Frisbee with friends
More random thoughts on tightrope walking!
I'm incredibly curious about how people actually go about learning to do this, because I've only ever seen groups of teens doing it together. I guess it must be self-taught? It's really interesting to watch people who are good at it, with their flips and bounces and awesome dismounts. People take two well-distanced palm trees and tighten the cord until taut. It's a pretty awesome hobby/sport.
