Carnaval starts today!!! Everything is traffic-jammed, there are 100,000 tourists in Salvador, and more than half of the major coastline and downtown roads are blocked off. It's electric. Tonight I will use one of Fernanda's dresses and we'll follow the Trios Eletricos, or driving bandstands, in the Bloco de Mascarados. It's a very fun, but very gay, group of people to be with, so Nanda and I will masquerade as a couple for the sake of not getting hit on by gay men and women. Poor Murillo may receive some unwanted kisses or get pinched on the butt since he has no date going with him. But hey, it's a party!
We may not take pictures as the chance of getting a camera stolen in such a massive crowd is higher than usual. Of course I'll be safe and alert, not prey. I probably won't have more than a couple of drinks so I can size up the situation before the rest of the week.
I love you all, wish me luck on the first night at the biggest party in the world!

Silly Boy. You continue to make me laugh. Guess you should have taken your red Burning Man outfit for Carnaval. Have a wonderful time and thank you for letting me know you're staying safe. ~ Mom
