The weekend has arrived, and after a cold week it is a treat. Saturday is mild and largely dry at 25°C, with cool mornings giving way to bright, pleasant afternoons.
Brazil’s knockout campaign begins on Monday. As Group C winners they face Japan in the round of 32 in Houston, kicking off at 2 pm BRT, a tougher tie than the favourites’ billing suggests.
The Bovespa ended the week flying. It rose on Friday past 173,000, capping a near-3% weekly gain as inflation worries eased, with the dollar holding around R$5.17.
A weekend for the parks, then. With the chill lifting, Ibirapuera, the Minhocão and Avenida Paulista are all calling.
