Day time in Rio is so laisse faire.
We chill!. Starting around just after high noon, folks begin waking up, they gather on Atlantica Avenida at a joint called Meia Pataca. Great Brasil food, steaks, caipirinhas, cheap buckets of Heinekens and honeys honeys and more honeys.
Meia Pataca is so chill. Make sure you check your bill before you leave so u are not leaving double gratuities (tips) and if you have any food left over make sure u give it to a couple of the childern hanging around in need of food and everything a child needs. Do what you can for these poor kids. No doubt, they can use. All along Atlantica Avenida up and down the beach are cool sidewalk cafes, more distinct locals coming soon.
