A vacation in Rio

I spent my last vacation with my mom in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It was wonderful to be on Copacabana Beach and to experience a multicultural city with plenty of tourists.

We stayed at a lovely hotel in front of the beach and our windows opened onto an amazing view of the sunset. We could also see the beach full of beach umbrellas. Beach umbrellas and people in bathing suits stretched to the horizon.

However, it was hard to find a good place to eat, meaning a restaurant that is both nice and cheap. Everything was expensive, including the food. At the end of our first day there, we finally found restaurants that fit our budget. They were spread out along Ribeiro Avenue.

If we had to make a comparison, we would say that Ipanema Beach was nicer and quieter than Copacabana Beach because Ipanema was tucked away unlike Copacabana.
