Domingo (Sunday) brings futebol in Brasil. This day was the final for the state of Rio de Janeiro. The two teams playing are neighborhoods next to each other in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Flamengo and Botafogo. These teams played in famed Maracana stadium and the stadium was full to capacity. The winner was Flamego in penalties. In this photo, a Botafogo player realizes the loss despite hitting the then go ahead goal at the 70 minute mark.
This Domingo took me to Atafona, a small town where the Paraiba do Sul meets the Atlantic Ocean. Atafona is a fishing village. Small restaurants are located on the river serving the local catch of the day.
The area that surrounds the town of Atafona is confronted with the erosion of the coastline where many homes have fallen way to the encroaching sea.

Ah -- memories of Atafona - fried fish, french fries, crab soup, fried manioc, fresh bread, cerveja at the restaurant while we watched the fisherman paint their boat. . .
