Hippie Fair

This is the view when I am on my morning jog looking towards Leblon.

In the afternoon we went to see the Hippy fair a few blocks from the holiday appartment, It takews place each Sunday in the Praca Gen Osorio at the other end of Ipanema. There were mostly stalls of crystals, jewellery, paintings and leather stuff.
Its reminiscent of street markets in London, the same Sunday morning feel only more stalls with fabulous local crystals.

Also a few stalls selling leather bean bags at less than half the price at home. Might look good in the basement at home!

Round the corner was a great wholefood restaurant. You help yourself from the buffet and then pay for the food by weight. As usual everything looked so good it is difficult not to sample too many things and end up with a heaped plate. Favourites so far, - mashed potatoes and rice mixed with broccoli.

Excuse me if I post another link to you tube and the girl from ipanema.
