Carnival time : whether in Salvador, Rio or elsewhere, there is a samba for everything. The music, the dances, and the costumes are constantly updated and refurbished, adding excitement to the existing formulas. One of these festivals is the Boi Bumba, which is held each June in Parintins on the Amazon River. We were in Parintins in January, but the townspeople put on a special Boi Bumba show for the Seven Seas Mariner passengers. The Boi Bumba story is based on an old legend featuring a beautiful girl and a bull, but the festival is a Brazilian operetta, with much singing, dancing, and drumming. It is great fun.

At lunch time the most popular meals consist of meat, rice, beans, and a salad, though chicken, fish and pasta are popular too. These dishes are often accompanied with vegetables and manioc flour, also called "farofa".

One final reminder: when in Brazil, dont forget to try the delicious ice creams made out of exotic tropical fruits!
