Carnaval starts Early in Rio de Janeiro

Brazilians just can't wait. Every year the parties and street gatherings begin earlier and earlier. We were just down near the beach and I took these photos. The bloco "Me Esquece" had just finished their parade.

The beer sellers follow the people who are dancing to the music.

It was 5:30pm and the Brazilians are still lying on the beach

and buying beer.
