Carnival in Rio encompasses 700 meters of street (Rua Marquês de Sapucaí), with grandstands. Now that's like seven football stadiums in a row, and that's pretty big!

Carnival in Bahia encompasses kilometer after kilometer of streets filled to the brim, practically bursting with people, not to mention block after block lined with camarotes (stands).

All along I was at the wrong beach!

Returned from the beach yesterday. Don~t want to get caught at the Carnival national 4 day holiday traffic.

Just now at the internet, I discover that I went to the wrong beach.

I should have been here -
