Hello again to everyone at home. Today was yet another day full of places, things and no food. We went to the Copacabana Fort, which is on a rocky peninsula just past the infamous Copacabana beach. The fort was constructed in the mid-1800's (when Brazil was still ruled by an emperor). The fort is still used by the military today as a naval observation point. Around the fort is also a museum, cafe and lots and lots of random cannons. As usual, we had way too much fun and almost got caught messing with some ammunition (empty shells, of course), haha.
Then we had a lovely lunch in the cafe (which I will not describe or even mention further) and toured the museum. As we were coming out, a huge BOOM shook the building and nearly made me pee my pants. After coming out, we asked someone and found out that the army was practicing nearby for a presentation on Sunday. The troops were marching in formation on the lawn and the military band was playing so, of course, they had to fire up one of the cannons to accentuate the 1812 Overture. Felipe was snapping away and enjoying himself while I was nervously waiting for someone to escort us out for compromising something or other that was "top-secret" and not meant for tourists. Luckily, he was right and no one cared. So, (drum-roll please), here are the photos we stole from the government :)
