Carlos and Bb in Toda do Vinicius

Carlos owns the music shop Toca do Vinicius in Ipanem, which specialises in Bossa Nova music.  We've got to get to know him a little over the years and always pop in for a chat and a little purchase to top up our own Bossa Nova collection.  Prior to this we'd both done some work in the morning and then a late lunch in Bar Lagoa in Ipanema, using the new metro line from Copacabana to Ipanema. Back to Copa, a quick turnaround and then got on the beach at 6.30 for an hour and a half. Caught some good live bossa nova music in one of the places right on the front. Finished the day with a light bite at what we call our local place on Santa Clara and now flopped into bed.  It was very hot today!
