Wake up before the alarm – check.
Nice and sunny outside – of course.
Morning run around the lake – check.
Egg and bacon brunch with caffe latte on my balcony – check.
Pretending I can read a Brazilian paper while having brunch – check.
Samba song lyrics memorized – almost.
Ticket for the show – on it’s way over here.
Water bottles – check.
Carnaval outfit as in minimal bikini covered in sequins – I wish.
Arabic shepard costume with sheep heads on the shoulders – yup.
Camera – check.
Samba skills – missing big time.
Afternoon nap to manage the whole night – will do.
Samba spirit and Carnaval mood – getting there.
Think I’m as ready as I can be and it should all kick off at 9 pm tonight. The school I’m joining should be up at about 10.30 pm as the second school of the night and I think I’ll have an experience like nothing else tonight.
Throughout the week, I’ve been kind of proud of Brazil. Finally a country, which boycotts the American commercialism, at least a little bit. In this case by skipping Valentines Day today. Not my favourite day of the year really, for several reasons, so to me, the Carnaval couldn’t have taken over the place at a better time. It wasn’t a very long lasting relief though. It turned out that Brazil has just moved this moneymaking day to June instead. No way they are going to miss out on a chance to show some extra love to their near and dear ones. To all of you who are not in Brazil though, I’ll put my principles aside and wish you a Happy Valentines Day. ♥
