The party never stops...

Carnivale in Rio de Janeiro leaves me without words... and for those that know me, that is not a regular occurrence...

Never have I seen such beauty and such joie de vive and zest for life... Old and young... think MCQP party that lasts for five days... for everyone!!!

Every where one looks people are wearing crowns and wigs and fairy tale clothes, grown-ups playing and the toddlers, loving every moment.

As I am sitting here a "bloco" (street band) is marching past, playing some awesome music, a little remiscent of our own minstrels...

It's about dancing and singing and fun fun fun!! People really celebrating life, forgetting about all the hardships and heartache for a weekend...

It is beautiful.

Check out the Sambadromo links on Facebook. Will also still post some more thoughts... when my body and brain has caught up with each other :) Jetlag and sleep deprivation - a nasty combination!
