Rio de Janeiro
Carnival 2006
Rio Carnival is undoubtedly the
grandest and the best carnival in the world.
The Carnival glistens with international
participation and still retains the cultural magic
Brazil can offer for the world. The multi million
dollar budget of this annual festival is one proof
that it is the brightest shining jewel of Brazil's
love for festive and joyous celebrations. See it for
yourselves by viewing the video of the recent
Carnival held February 2006.
The video is courtesy of John Sherwin. In 2005 he
and his wife planned to go for the 2006 Rio carnival
and during his research he landed on my web site.
He wrote me an email to introduce himself and
requested some information to prepare his trip.
We exchanged emails since and became good friends
for the common interest: the carnivals abductions.
He brought his camera, had the video taken and sent
me the raw materials. Like many people who
went to see the Carnival at the Rio Sambadrome, we
were never prepared to video, to bring blank tapes
and to charge batteries for 10 hours of sheer
excitement.
The music alone and the pounding samba beat as the
parade unravels before your eyes give everybody the
chill and the adrenalin pumping to joyous rhythm of
dance and singing. You don't know how to dance?
Don't worry you will soon discover your body
gyrating and shaking for few minutes. Pretty
soon you swell with the crowd and the night is yours
as if tomorrow never comes. It's very contagious.
The sheer magnitude of the parade and the excitement
building up certainly made the 10 hours parade just
a blink in your eyes. Pure magic and
excitement.
After the parade, you may wonder how you lasted that
long- sitting, dancing, eating, singing and not
thinking of your personal problems.
Afterall we came to Rio to enjoy what life's best
has to offer.
Most attendees of the Carnival yearn to go back
again and again. The hundred dollar worth of tickets
that range from $200 and up was certainly worth it.
Every moment a treasure to remember a lifetime.
Thanks to
John Sherwin for his kind thoughts of sending me
this 2006 carnival video to share his memories for
every one's enjoyment.
Hope you enjoy!
Nicky
