The Dog from Ipanema

Well, our last time back in Rio at Hostel Harmonia - sad to say goodbye to all the friends we've made here.

We visited the Centre area of Rio, where people actually work and not just ponce around on the beachfront doing sit-ups. In Rio it's not so much the girl from Ipanema but the dogs from Ipanema who really accessorise. We saw a dog, only slightly larger than a rabbit today dressed in a black and white spotted jacket with matching booties. The outfit was completed by a sun-visor with doggie sunglasses resting delicately on the brim, with a mobile phone dangling from the collar to complete the look. We weren't sure whether to laugh more at the dog or owner!!!!!
