Beach shower

Don't they look inviting, so cool? The people seem to be enjoying it all so much.

Well, be careful. A study, recently done by PUC, has determined that the water is extremely polluted. People urinate in the shower, the urine goes back into the water table and comes back as ammonia. You might get a disease, so resist the temptation.

 

Nomangue

1/27/13 - Nomangue closed in Botafogo, it opened in Copacabana but I have not yet been to it.

Unfortunately, we only just discovered this wonderful restaurant, so close to our home, such delicious food, such excellent service. What else can I say? Guess you just have to try it out for yourselves.
The restaurant specializes in seafood, Thursday is the day to go if you like oysters, they are then flown in directly from a farm in Florianopolis. We had those, and some marinated mussels and some spaghetti with seafood. Wonderful, the picture does not do it credit.
We did not try the seafood feijoada, that will be our next time, but friends have praised it in loud voices. As far as I know it has white beans, seafood and some of the meats that regularly go into the feijoada. Sounds a bit strange to me, but I am assured it is well worth having.
