Carnaval!!!!! And Psy was in Salvador last night singing gangnam style with a famous brazilian singer called Claudia Leite! I know I didnt add anything special to the world with this post lol but I thought perhaps you wanted to know what is happening on this part of the world right now :giggle

So fun! We went to St. Kitts in 2000 during their Carnival and it was so much fun. I'm sure their's was on a MUCH smaller scale, so I can only imagine the party going on for you right now! :)
 
Thank goodness I am miles, I mean MILES away from that :giggle
So many people close to each other! No way I'm going there ever! Lol if I were younger i probably would be there cause I used to love carnaval but now the only thing I can think of at this time is to rest! Better if it is far away from that crowd! :giggle
 
How fun! The kids and I actually watched the movie Rio last week (for the millionth time!) and they said they would like to go to Carnaval! Funny coincidence here is that our french canadian tradition at this time of year is to have "Carnaval" of our own. Except it's mostly all winter activities... :)
 
I don't like Carnaval, but the whole country is celebrating! lol!! but I confess, I'd love to go to Rio just to see the "parade"...it looks so stunning on television! but I'm a rock n' roll girl, not a samba girl!! lol!!
 
indeed the whole parade is now down in my town and thye have started partying while I'm off to work till 1am >< I'm not a carnaval person either, we do it for the kids.
 
Although I live in Brazil, "The Country of Carnival", that was my first time watching the parade on “the Avenue” in the Sambadrome and it was STUNNING, so many brightly colored costumes!!!!
There was 15 schools participating in the carnival, each of them with 3000-4000 people in the parade.

I hate places with a lot of people together so I always am far away from that crowd on the Carnaval but this year we went to a special place there called to see so close the parade and here's some pics:

I miss so so so much carnival, I even made a page yesterday about that....there is no comparing Brazilian carnival, no matter where you are, from Rio to Olinda (I haven't been carnival south of Rio) differemt ways of celebrating but always, always fun!!!!!

I so would love to be there now, is summer.....

well, I used to be MPB, Rock n Roll, even Sertanejo (though I know people think is taki or not good quality, am too old to deny=I LOVE novelas da Globo e dupla sertamjeja kkkkk) but coming the end of the year...I would be rehearsing at the Manguiera and going out in the Avenue..... there is nothing compared to being there..... am not even talking about watching it, but participating in it.... I went in 5 years for Mangueira & 2 for Padre Miguel (Mocidade)...then I was a tour guide apart from singing in 2 restaurants and couldn't afford to loose work :( and being in a Samba school is expensive....you have to pay for your own costume, but honestly? I'm SO glad I did it :)
Also Ferdy: good to see you here girl :) vou fazer tempo pra passar in your gallery !
