Tell you what you’ve got to love Carnival..! Tom & I went to the AfroReggae bloco on Sunday –they’re the guys I’m setting up the radio station for. Their bloco was bigger than yesterdays and ran along Ipanema beach. They played some wicked beats – samba, hip hop & dub and we partied all afternoon and into the night. We walked from Ipanema back home – it took about 3 hours through all the people, stopping off for Tequila and Caipirinha along the way, and the sites and smells of that journey were amazing! Cooking corn on the cob, beef, chicken; street vendors selling all kinds of things – food, drink, art, jewellery; car sound systems pumping out baile funk… Hey these guys will make a system out of anything, even an ice cream cart or a bin, yes a bin!! People were dancing in the street, chilling on the beach and eating in the restaurants. I even saw a girl walking through the crowd, getting a look from a hot guy, stopping for a snog and then walking on – like I say you gotta love Carnival!!
