Crazy, crazy, crazy

I did first day of carneval AND I WANT MORE!!!!!
Ok, so finally I got to the purpose of my trip - to go and visit Chris in Salvador and attend carneval. Carneval in Salvador is not at all like all the pictures you see from Rio. No, here there are no halfnaked ladies in feather costumes. It is more like a crazy blockparty with bands playing on trucs that slowly go down the streets in the carneval areas. People can choose to buy tshirts from the different bands and follow them in so called blocos. We decided to go there as popcorns yesterday, ie not paying and getting to see all the bands in the streets.
It was crazy. Tons and tons of people everywhere. The music was very good and very singalong music, even though I had never heard it before. Of course a lot of beer and dancing and singing and kissing and boys giving girls special necklaces.... I loved it and we danced the whole night. Now I know why all south Americans say that you have never partied before you have partied in South America... Hihi

Today we took the boat out. Had a nice relaxing afternoon swimming and sunbathing and then we started carneval by listening and looking at the bands playing (among others Chiclete com banana) from the sea. It was perfect as we could dance on the boat and listen to the music without having to bother about all the persons on the street. Great.
And now it is off for another crazy night of carneval!!!!!
