Since carnival was so late this year, I'm assuming it was warmer and much more pleasant--which would have led to more people wanting to join in on the fray!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11552394655165533447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18504567045488270.post-76893367333009293032014-03-04T14:43:11.968-08:002014-03-04T14:43:11.968-08:00No one has ever really enjoyed Carnaval until they...No one has ever really enjoyed Carnaval until they had a taste of Brazil! We start dancing on Saturday morning, and do not stop until sunrise on Ash Wednesday. We dance all day in the streets (music plays everywhere in the cities), and then go home in the evening to change into our 'fantasias' and go dancing all night. After a few hours (only a few) we start all over again. Then on Wednesday morning we wear the ashes and become repentitive.
