Photos – Hippy Feira in Ipanema

We spent a Sunday afternoon at the Hippy Fearie. We went straight after Church and from the Hippy Fraire, we visited the lovely Wanbersie family who invited us to dinner. It ended up being a veeeery long day. It is not so clear from the pictures, but it rained most of the day and we had to purchase some umbrellas.

We spent a Sunday afternoon at the Feira de Hip in  Ipanema.. This Feira (market) has been operational since 1968 and apparently hasn’t missed a Sunday yet. We went straight after Church and then from the Hippy Fraire, we visited the lovely Wanbersie family who invited us to dinner. It ended up being a veeeery long day. It is not so clear from the pictures, but it rained most of the day and we had to purchase some umbrellas.

The owner of the store took a pic of the girls to put on his facebook page, where he advertises. I only heard about this later

On the way to the Wanbersies. This is VERY typical of the pavements in Rio de Janeiro. Little black and white tiles packed in beautiful patterns. This one was just off the Ipanema beach.
