It's parade time in Rio: g1.globo.com/rio-de-janeiro/carnaval/201...-apuracao/cobertura/

Today is the second day of parades for Series A. Sunday and Monday each day 6 groups of the Special Group parade. I'm trying to figure out what time it starts tomorrow. It looks like the fun starts around 3 pm Pacific time.

Now this is an event I'd love to be at some time, even if not in the heart of the crowd. It sure looks like the ultimate costume party!!

There's a good group parading now Each group gets 70 minutes. Each successive one seems to get better.

My father went to Carnival in Rio for over 20 years. He would rent an apartment for the entire month.

Wild times without a doubt!

Mardi Gras in New Orleans is lke a church service compared to the debauchery that goes down in Rio.

When Phil retires I'm off to Rio!

My favorite group parades next, Beija Flor de Nilopolis, Kiss Flower, or Hummingbird. They usually finish in the top three.
