This one can not be explained easily so I'll just post a video:

Michelle and I, along with some friends were able to participate in the Mocidade Samba School, Carnival Parade.
Click here> Here is an airal view of the parade
It takes about 45 mins to pass the review stands of where you dance and sing your a$$ off. The Gringo pulled it off with just enough endourance to finish! The locals make it look easy..
I say: if your going to Rio for Carnival you have to go all out.
Here are a few snaps from the evening:
