Day 53: Another day in Niterói
Back in Rio, we decided to spend the day seeing Niterói since Daniel invited us over for churrasco for the finals. We went to mass first in the morning at the chapel in a school (finally, an English mass). After mass, we were asking the guard for directions to the bus or metro, and an American couple who had been living in Brasil helped us out with translation. It was so nice because they asked if we were from the Philippines (there were some Filipinos attending the mass as well) and shared that they had lived there for a few years back when Cory was president.
We were originally planning to take the bus to the ferry terminal, but when we were waiting at the bus we found one that goes straight to Niterói. At Niterói I showed Ange the Caminho Niemeyer and B met up with us there.
...and pass by the beaches.
B and I were excited to go back to the MAC so we could check out the exhibit at the viewing gallery again, but the exhibit had changed! We were bummed that we wouldn't be able to really look at the works again, but on the plus side, we got to see a new exhibit.
We still had a bit more time before the game so we took Ange up to Parque da Cidade. Another beautiful day with clear skies.
From there we headed to the hotel and Daniel's dad, Delcimar cooked us churrasco (barbecue) for the Argentina - Germany game. Sadly, my Argentines lost :( but it was a good game. I can't believe the World Cup is now over.The past month has been really crazy and fun, and I'm glad I got to experience the World Cup in Brasil. :)

We walked all the way to the Contemporary Art Museum which was a bit of a walk, but we got to see some nice street art...
