rio de janeiro carnival 2012

It’s samba time again people. The world over carnival is being celebrated in hundreds of different types of parties and traditions and the most famous celebration is probably the one in Rio De Janaiero. It’s loud and very colorful and I’d love to go one day.

Warning: some images show copious amounts of South American flesh.
