Carnaval 2006 ~ Sao Paulo Brazil This Afternoon

Brazilian carnival (spelt 'carnaval' in Brazil) is an annual celebration held 40 days before Easter marking the start of Lent - though you'd never believe its origins were religious seeing some of the Brazilian 'dental floss' bikinis on show normally! Today and tonight carnivals will be celebrated all over the country. The best takes place in Rio later tonight. We'll share those with you later ;)

For now Feliz Carnaval a todos - from Sao Paulo!
