Sidewalks

One of the things I love here in Santos are the sidewalks.  This pattern is the most common, and I think it's called Rio, because they have this design all over Rio de Janeiro as well.


Here's another design in front of the nearby tennis club.   


Here's the wave "Rio" pattern again, but made with pre-fabricated tiles.



Here's an all-white stone look, which looks kinda plain...



until you put it in front of an all-white modern-looking house!  Que chique, nĂ©?



Another pattern made with tiles.



Here's our next-door neighbor's which I've always though was bem legal!  And there are many others around; these were just taken when I was out running an errand. 



You'll find plain 'ole concrete sidewalks around, too, but these stone and tile sidewalks are just as common.  So pretty.
