Rio de Janeiro sunrise wanderings

just stepped off the plane and the sun is already climbing, i just checked and it's...scorching there right now, hope you dig that kind of heat. the air feels like warm honey and the neighbors whisper that if you get bored, salvador or Recife are just a short drive away. someone told me that the best pastel is at a stall near the beach and i heard that the night market is a maze of flavors. i popped into a tiny cafe that smelled of fried dough and fresh mango, and the owner swore the caipirinha here is the real deal. you can glance at this spot on the map:

there’s a quick snap of the coastline, a burst of color from the murals, and a glimpse of the street vendors setting up.

the vibe is raw and a little salty, and the locals keep pointing you toward the hidden rooftop bar that overlooks the bay. for a deeper dive you might check out the TripAdvisor guide to Rio (https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-o... ) or the local board on Yelp (https://www.yelp.com/biz/... ). if you’re looking for a quick bite, the nearby stall serves pastel that’s crisp and oozing with cheese, and the gossip among the crowd says the ice cream here is legendary. i just checked and it's...scorching there right now, hope you like that kind of heat.
