Parque Olímpico do Rio

I went for the Paralympics, which is not something you can go back and do. Sitting volleyball one evening and another session the next morning, both of them full, both of them louder than I expected, and the tickets cheap enough that you could just turn up and pick something. Walking around the park after dark with all of it lit up was worth an hour on its own. Whether the place is worth anything now that everyone has gone home I genuinely do not know.
