Hippie fair
On my last day in Brazil, I met with a gentleman from Rits and then went to the feira hippie in Ipanema. That's right -- it's a hippie fair!
The Ipanema Hippie Fair is really just a crafts fair, but it has a great name. I met two Brazilian painters there and talked to them in Portuguese for about an hour, and then bought a painting from each of them. One of the painters didn't have anything with him at the fair within my budget, so he painted something on the spot for me -- a scene of a favela near Botafogo, with the Pão de Açucar in the background.
