Last night we made it to the Sambadrome to watch the magnificent rip carnival parade.

We had planned to perform in the parade but after lots of research and calls to the samba schools they told us kids are not allowed to participate unless they have been train with the school for months. Adults are allowed but not kids.

So we decided to be a witness to such a colorful even instead.

We arrived at the Sambadrome at 9pm and the event started at 10pm and went on till 6am….yeap 6am…6 schools and they all have 1 hour to walk through the Sambadrome.

Really truly a beautiful parade worth the long hours.

Beautiful parade and lots of colorful custumes and trucks.
