For the record: The Sofitel does accept small dogs up to 5kg, just reportedly not on the club level. So we are on the DL up here in the rarified air with our dog who may weigh more than 5kg. I just pretend I'm French (since the Sofitel is French) and that Leo is a little frou-frou Frenchie lap dog and I carry him from the room to the elevator and through the lobby until we exit the hotel. It suits him, and since he may weigh more than 5kg, my arm muscles get a good workout.
Leo and I walked Copacabana Beach (on the sidewalk, not in the sand) from 8:00 to 10:15 this morning. And when I say we walked, I mean we walked some, we rested on benches some, we people-watched a lot, and Leo got carried a bit when he just refused to walk another step.
I cannot tell you how much activity there is on Copacabana Beach in the morning. It is nonstop. I don't know when these people work but they definitely enjoy the morning hours on the beach.
Some photos of what I saw:
An ad for a Gillette razor...
This lady ran to the beach, stripped down to her bathing suit, swam, did her yoga-esque stretching, swam again and left.
Drinking a beer. At 8:21am. I'm guessing he doesn't work the day shift.
Group exercise class
The paddleboarder is the guide for the swim club swimmers. He's sort of like the mother duck who makes sure all her ducklings are okay.

Tookie seems like a fine friend for Leo but I'm not sold on the pink bow she's sporting. Doesn't quite seem to go. 😉
Tookie! I love it! And I love your blog. It's a happy source of entertainment for me. :)
