hike, beach, night out

To start off the day I used one of the rentals bikes that they have around the city.  I had a great bike ride around the city and the lagoon.  Then I went on a great hike to some waterfalls.  Afterwards I went to the beach to relax.  To end the day, I met up with the sister of the guy's whose apartment I stayed at and went out to a place only where locals hang out to hear samba music played on the street and then to lapa.  It was such a great day with so many different activities.

botanical garden and couchsurfing meeting

In the morning I decided to go to another fruit market.  I was able to get some wonderful fruit again.  Then I went to the beach for a lil bit and then I went to the botanical garden.  The botanical garden was beautiful.  the scenery was amazing and I was able to see some great animals.  Piranhas, lots of monkeys, some toucans and an animal I have no idea what it was.  Then later that night I went to a couchsurfing meeting.  It was great to meet everyone!
