A mall with a view..

On Monday I had lunch with some old college friends (it´s been 12 years) at Botafogo Praia Shopping and unfortunately i´ve never been able to be at this balcony with clear skies! It is still a great meeting point, though, since there is great transportation to all parts of town.

I took this picture while being driven from my home in the Botafogo neighborhood to the International Airport of Rio... I was quite in a rush, as you can see... This road takes us through Guanabara bay til downtown and to the north of the city. To the left, if you look closer you'll see a yellow cab having a technical malfunction...
