The parade started early in the day, and we really enjoyed it. We started to get
jostled by the ever increasing rather “lively” crowd, so we made our way up
to the top of a high tree to watch the rest of the action. Ned took a nap once
in a while, and I fell into a trance, because after a while, waves of topless
human women with big feathered hats undulating through the streets of Rio
becomes a bit boring. The parade continued through the night, and even
I felt like admitting, enough craziness, already!
