Six Months in Rio

Dia dos Namorados

June 12, 2011

Today is the Brazilian version of Valentine's Day, "Dia dos Namorados." On Friday, I saw this piece of artwork on a wall in Ipanema. [Cue "Girl from Ipanema" theme song.]


Someone probably just put it up in commemoration of the holiday, but I think they should keep it up all year round. It's so pretty!
