Visit the summer residence of Emperor Pedro II, which is worth seeing. Excellent state of preservation of furniture, beautiful garden attached to the dwelling. Less interesting is the "crystal palace" which is a kind of greenhouse. Santos Dumont's house, however small, deserves to be seen for the importance of the character. We must first read up on the history of S. Dumont, I recommend watching on YouTube an episode dedicated to him on the channel of Eduardo Bueno. Beautiful cathedral (but we have much better in Europe). Finally, the one and a quarter hour stop for shopping was absolutely out of place, as it was a cultural trip. Cost of the excursion too high.

Enjoyable day. 8-6. Nice to go up into the mountains and out of Rio. The hour shopping wasn’t for us (English) but the Brazilians loved it!

Very dangerous walking into the museum with booties. I fell when trying to remove them. They should have chairs for senior citizens so you can sit down when you’re removing dishes.
