Lapa is an old part of the centre of Rio where the best samba clubs are. but there is a party every night in the street pretty much. The rain and lack of toilets meant we weren´t too sure what we were dancing in so we were covered in what we called Lapa crappa. We had some good times there and after a good few caipirinhas you really think you can samba. Skol is the beer of popular choice strangely. It´s not very nice and reminds us of tramps at home but is cheap.
Our mate Rich is actually a good drummer and plays the quica a samba instrument but after a few skols not so good.......?
This old guy was one of Rio´s many can collectors. The city has a 99% aluminium recycling rate beacuse of them. He was the best samba dancer I have seen, wish we had videoed him. Ed reckoned he could give him a run for his money.
