Sunday arrives mild and bright, the gentle high point of the weekend. The day is dry and pleasant at 26°C, with the chill of recent mornings easing, so the parks and open streets beckon.
Brazil’s knockout campaign begins tomorrow. 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 day for the open air, then. With Avenida Paulista and the Minhocão closed to cars, the whole city feels made for walking.
