Watched possibly the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen, on Ipanema beach, which was quite symbolic because it was our last night in Rio. We spent it at the Carnival Gay Ball, which entices the city's most flamboyant characters down its red carpet. Hundreds of people lined the barricades outside to see the costumes of arriving guests, and a Brazillian Davina McCall interviewed some of them for television. There was probably a power surge when we arrived, as everyone put their kettles on. Inside, there were some amazing outfits and a lot of fun people. The music was a strange mixture of live samba (including a song about big shoes) and cheesy wedding classics.
THING I DIDN'T KNOW BEFORE TODAY:
The word lesbian in Portuguese literally means "big shoes"
