observations on the population.

while my parents were here, they mentioned a few times the great lack of children in rio. I found this a little interesting, because it was not really something i noticed-- until they pointed it out. what i do think is that there aren't that many kids in zona sul, a rich area that isn't really kid-friendly. when we went to barra da tijuca, in zona oeste, there were quite of few children running around on the beach.

we also noticed a lot of empregadas tending to young children-- while the mother was present. they tended to be a cute mix, because the empregada was usually darker, and the child was really fair.
