Shots from Carnaval 2004
April 10, 2004

I'm way behind with blog entries I've wanted to make (this one is about 2 months late!). I really need to make a selection of pictures from the street blocos from Carnaval 2004, primarily Cordão do Boitatá. In the meantime I'm posting some shots of me in my "fantasia" (costume) at Boitatá. It was a little goof on the whole fingerprinting/ID thing that was going on at the airports in Brasil. Yes, those are my fingerprints on my t-shirt and an ID number. The top hat was just for fun ;-). I played "reco-reco de mola" (an instrument you sort of scrape, this one made with a metal spring) in this bloco.

Nothing like a tall gringo to fit right in
I look serious, but yes, I was having fun!
Me and some good friends
