Rio de Janeiro Carnaval Parade E Samba Finale. March 8. It rained like crazy all day. When we had the door of the house open when a cockroach the size my pinkie finger decided to have a meander in. So, we got the cat, who caught the cockroach in her mouth, and then we carried the cat outside. The cat dropped the cockroach in the rain, and we picked up the cat and brought her back into the house. Eyebrows...
Rio Carnaval Party Time: Rio de Janeiro. March 3. The Rio Carnaval Party is totally insane. Today I had to rally the troops of my group as they were not motivated to party. There were some that wanted to go to the beach, but I wanted to go to the Sergeant Pepper bloco party, that was a samba band that played only Beatles cover songs. I put on a bit of pressure and nine of us went to Parque do...
March 2. Rio de Janeiro Carnaval. After a late start, Csilla, Cash, Irmante and I got down the hill to meet Scottie, Shanna, and Marie. It turns out that Christine is Marie. I blew that. We went and found a blocko party and a band was on a tall trailer, and they were called New Kids on the Blocko. They played New Kids on the Block, Spice Girls, N-Sync, and Backstreet Boys. The music was terrible, but the party was...
Rio de Janeiro Favela Party. March 1. Well, for starters, I found out that the word ‘sperm’ is used as a swear word in Brazilian Portuguese. You might say, “Where in the sperm is my camera?” That is funny! We had lunch and then we went to meet with Scottie Duncan Smith, a friend form Fillmore, Saskatchewan, who is here in Rio de Janeiro with a girl from Saskatoon and a girl from Sweden. So, we met up and we...
Rio de Janeiro: Carnival Build-up. February 27. [su_dropcap]I[/su_dropcap] got up at 7:15am and went with Csilla to the international airport to pick up my special Girmante Sangrialatte from Lithuania. So great to see her face at the airport. The journey starts now. I like to describe her as ‘Me with blond hair and boobs.’ How will her and I, two such similar people travel together? That is going to be fascinating! I can not wait to see how people who...
