Another couple of Days in Buzios
For the second time this year we went for a nice weekend in Buzios, a coastal city four hours away from Rio. The beaches and atmosphere are really great over there and we had an amazing time with the group of friends.
Handball Game at the UERJ
The visit of my friends Xavier and Larissa was a great opportunity to organize a Handball firendly game as they were in Rio with lots of other friends from France. And as it’s often the case during these friendly games we really a great time on and off the court.
Noemie’s Farewell Party on the Roof
It’s always sad to see good friends leaving but it’s always a good opportunity to have a big party and this one was really nice and memorable. From a nice rooftop party in Ipanema all the way to a crazy breakfast in Botafogo. A great party with great friends!
A couple of days in Petropolis
Yet another great weekend with friends and this time the destination was Petropolis, the “Imperial City of Brazil” with nice walks around the city center, nice trails around the Serra dos Orgaos and nice beers at the Bohemia Brewery.
Visiting the Olympic Park and Village
As some of you probably know I have registered as a Volunteer for the Paralympic Games and was asked to give a hand for the Chief de Mission Seminar that takes place one year before the event. A great opportunity to learn more about the games and to visit the park and the village.
Olympics Test Events around Rio
The year before the Olympics is always an exciting year with many test events taking place around the city: Volleyball at Maracanazino, Beach Volley on Copacabana, Archery in the Sambodromo, Canoe on the Lagoa… A great way to get ready for the big event next year!
A couple of days in Uruguay
This time it’s a Nice – Rio trip that has been transformed in a Nice – Madrid – Montevideo – Porto Alegre – Rio trip which gave me the opportunity to spend one week in Uruguay. A very small and quiet country compare to its two giants neighbors.
