Last night was out of conTROL! The way Carnaval works is that giant double-decker busses called Trio Elêtricos drive down the road starting way at the southwest corner of Salvador and drive about 6 miles or so to another point way up the beach playing music the whole way. People who pay for special shirts can wear the shirts and get into moving roped-off areas called Blocos and get really close to the Trios. Some blocos are free, like the one we went to last night called Mascarado, but most are anywhere from R$ 50 to R$ 200. The streets are totally full of people from curb to curb. There's food and booze and costumes for sale everywhere.
I'm being called away by Murillo right now, as we're running late. More posts are sure to come, Carnaval is ridiculously interesting! Absurd, loud, wild, colorful, diverse, expensive, free, all that stuff. Gotta run, wish me another night of fun!
Live on love,
Brad
