I'm posting this just to remember I was there. It was great to be with friends and reconnect with the people I had missed since I had left Brazil, but the carnival wasn't what I expected. At least in Salvador. I had kept great memories of my first carnival trip (in Rio), so I guess my expectation were a little too high.
I think we were simply to old to endure such crowds. Fights were bursting everywhere, the army was omnipresent and it felt like there was one police officer per party-goer, still, when a million people pogo to brazilian music, believe me, no army can control it. My camera got stolen, luckily I was able to steal it back (I'm as much a thief as they were).
However, there were still fun moments and great laughs... And the beach of Barra was as beautiful as I remembered it.
The craziness of a million people dancing in the streets of Salvador
