March 2011

Intro

Already in love with Brazil after visiting in 2002 and again in 2009, I couldn’t wait for an excuse to go back — especially to Rio de Janeiro, one of my favorite cities in the world, and in my opinion the most beautiful.  This time, I thought, let’s go back for Carnaval!  And since we generally know by now that I’m mildly crazy, you likely won’t be surprised by my next thought:  if I’m going to do Carnaval — why not hit the three most

Sambódromo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

After some seriously ridiculous Carnaval drama (which makes for a GREAT story and deserves its own blog post…), I am in costume, in line, and ready to parade through the famous Oscar Niemeyer-designed Sambódromo in Rio de Janeiro — dancing and singing “Os Doze Obás de Xangô” with my adopted samba school, Alegria da Zona Sul.
