Sunday is the pick of the weekend, and it is a beauty. The day is warm and bright at 27°C with barely a cloud, so the beach and the outdoors are firmly calling.
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 sand, then. With clear skies and warm air, Ipanema, Leblon and the city’s great viewpoints are all at their best.
