Finding Rio
30 11 2005print and read this excellent article of Pico Iyer on Rio in Condé Nast.
On the beach, tall black boys from the slums have created stunning Oriental cities and stricken Jesus out of sand, and if you stop at one of the cafés, you can have pineapple juice with mint, the sweetest tangerine juice you’ve ever tasted, and other fruity concoctions that mix the city’s tropical abundance with its passion for health (the taste of Rio, for me, is in these lavish fruit inventions, which bring the oversized flavors of the jungle to the condos). At moments like this, Rio looks like Havana with shades: the same sultriness and freedom from all diffidence, the same sense of recklessness and pleasure-loving ease, but appointed here with designer details.
