Day 1 of Carnaval

Rio De Janeiro is a beautiful city. The beaches are amazing and mountains allow for some of the most spectacular views. (pictures to come)

If you thought the Red Mile was crazy...wait until you experience Carnaval. I have only seen one Bloco - a street party where thousands of people dressed up like it is Halloween, follow a bus driving down the street, covered in speakers, blasting Brazilian Samba music!
It was 35 degrees today...if it wasn~t for the people spraying water from their balconies, the heat would have killed me.

Have to run but will write more later...

It's been over a week since your last update!! Do you realize that some of us like to procrastinate on actually doing work by checking out your blog? It doesn't help when you have nothing new posted!
Sorry, I'd love to hear more about Carnival and now, of cours, South Africa!!!
Thank you
Love you
