We had a late breakfast just making before they closed at 10am.... (guess we needed the sleep last night). Lots of food, eggs, meats, cheeses, fruit, cereal, juice, breads and pastries....
Following breakfast we walked the short distance to Copacabana Beach to our practice court. We met Wellington our beach volleyball coach for the week. He was really fun and funny and worked us hard but at the same time.... it was fun.
Moving in the sand is really a lot more difficult than playing on the hard court indoors. Plus just as our practice started... the wind started blowing which made playing the ball even more difficult.... We soon started catching on to moving in the sand... remembering which foot to keep forward and tracking down the ball in the wind.
Following practice we headed into the water to cool off and relax....
We walked to the end of the beach to a little kiosk to get a bite to eat and drink and relax.
We met at about 3:30pm to go to Sugar Loaf ... but just as we started out of our hotel it started to rain.... This time of year it is common for it to rain in the afternoon following a beautiful day.... and today was exactly like that....
We decided to pass on the trek to Sugar Loaf and go to the Mall instead (John said he would pass on going to the mall... he said he goes to the mall once a year.... to do Christmas shopping.... HA!!!...
The rain slowed down so we decided to walk to the mall... only about 10-15 minutes away.....
The rest of the evening was spent shopping and going to dinner....
Tomorrow Practice and sight seeing
