It was really nice to spend some time at the beach today. It's funny how the busiest hours for the beach in Brazil are in the early morning or later in the evening. For Americans, we like to go to the beach to get tan, so we usually are out on the beach when the sun is the strongest. For Brazilians, they already are tan for the most part, so I feel like going to the beach for them is more of a social event, where they can go to spend time with their friends or family. It's interesting because usually most people stay on the sidewalk that runs by the beach where they ride bikes or go jogging. When they are out on the beach itself, they usually stay shaded from the sun under these giant umbrellas. At nighttime, you can see people going out to eat some açaí or watch teams play soccer on the beach after the tide has gone out. The beach in Brazil is a really good place to relax and just have fun.
