Great pictures, and what an amazing carnival. I can't wait to get to Brazil for this one, hoping to spend it in Florianopolis (which is the main city in Santa Catarina, mentioned above). I recently wrote an article here on Matador about the carnivals.

All the best! Russ Wow!

I'm a terrible dancer, Benny, so I didn't learn frevo, but I did indeed get to see people dancing frevo! The Olinda Carnaval was quite wonderful-- going to watch your video now! Ha!

I made a short <a href="http://www.irishpolyglot.com/travel/brazilian-carnival-in-olinda/en/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">video of my experience of the Olinda carnival last year</a>, with some interviews in the street with locals (with subtitles). What an amazing time!! I hope you learned some frevo or forró, for an authentic Pernambuco experience! I remember that I accidently wandered into the street "Rua 13 de maio" in Olinda, not realizing it was the gay district during Carnival and got groped and flirted by by so many men as I tried to escape :-P I went back to Olinda a few weeks later and it was SO different. It's just a small town, but during Carnival it takes so long to walk a couple of metres with the masses of people that it seems huge. Nice pics Julie!

The Salvador carnival is a really cool study in culture, especially with the whole parallelism/competitive spirit between the trios and the blocos Very interesting article!
