Beautiful beaches

We made two trips to two different beaches over the last few days.  All beach access here is free and there is no shortage of little seaside restaurants, places to rent umbrellas/chairs and vendors walking along the beach selling everything from sarongs to ice cream. 

Day 1: Walkway in front of Ipanema Beach

 Eli and Mom checking it out...

 Day 2: Copacabana beach

 Sand!!

Catching some waves...

Eli's first beach trip took place when he was 7 weeks old, so we enjoyed playing in the sand and water with him this time around.  No doubt there will be many more outings here in Brazil, as well as many more grains of sand eaten by little fingers.  Yum.
