Taylor Brown - Samba School

Oi. The Samba school was amazing. The whole community was in a club for all I know until 6 am. We left around 3 and had a great time. The "school" is not really a school it's just a name: it's more a club than a Samba school. But everybody in there was smiling, dancing, drinking ... just enjoying life and enjoying others around you. On the bus ride back to the hotel, I thought how much we as Americans can take from this warm society.

Speaking for the men that are reading this, the women that were in the school were unbelievable. Long hair, short hair, tall, short, dark skinned, light skinned:  all the women in the school were energetic and very ready to samba for the night.
