On Tuesday, our art teacher friend named Thais (tye-ees) offered to take us to see the lagoon or lagoa after school. What sounded like a short and sweet trip to us ended up being a lovely walking tour of multiple neighborhoods.
First, we went to Parque Lage, an art school that's surrounded by beautiful gardens. Thais described it as a "free botanical gardens" which I would say is fairly accurate. Unfortunately, a lot of my pictures didn't turn out too well because it was pretty cloudy and my settings were not properly adjusted, so use your imagination.
We met Thais' friend here, who is such a doll, I really enjoyed talking to her. From here we walked to the lagoon. Not great pictures of the lagoon either, but I took some fun ones along the way.

Then we decided to walk to Mirante which is patio area that overlooks the ocean and Impanema.

After a few hours of walking we were starving, so Thais invited us over for dinner which consisted of homemade...
 |
| pao de queijo (cheese bread) |
 |
| and brigadeiro (I would compare it to chocolate ganache). |
We ended up having to leave after dark, which we were a little apprehensive about, but then we got to see Christ the Redeemer lit up on our walk from the bus stop, which made it worthwhile.
