Blocos, blocos and more blocos

The best part about carnaval are the blocos. These are street parties at all hours of the day where people follow a band, normally samba and drink and dance. Normally dressed in stupid outfits. As we were staying in Ipanema in the gayest street in Rio there was some great tranny action.

I loved this family below all dressed as babies

The above 2 pics are from a Maracatu bloco which is a Northern Brazilian dance from Recife. they dance swirling round in big skirts to amazing drum beats.
