Today was day two of pre-carnaval, I head down to André’s house to pick up my camera since I left it with him so as not to lose or damage it whilst in Casteritas, good thing I did too because it would have been soaked along with everything else that I had on me. I stopped by and chatted a bit with him and Carol and then head to the bloco which was happing in Bomfim. Oh how the sky looked terrible, you could see the storm clouds approaching ever so quickly. Against my better judgment I continued  treading forward, halfway up the it started to rain at a steady pace, I began to power walk, and it seemed that the faster I walked the harder the rain came down… I ran - all hell broke loose it rained really hard I didn’t even care about my clothes or shoes I was mostly worried about my camera. I found a plastic bag on the floor and put my camera bag in it to avoid the rain getting in.  So there I was, strolling in the rain, walking home. I gave up on the bloco today, but as the say here amanhã promete, (tomorrow promises) , the equivalent of our “tomorrow is a new day.”
