Lent Shment!

So, Carnaval, a period of recognized excess leads to Ash Wednesday and the stoppage of such excess.  Verdad?  Nao.  The new crew from the Ipanema Hostel went to the Bloco.  We were targeted for theft.  Three pairs of shoes were stolen and an I phone.  Part of the experience.  Unfortunately, the I phone was stolen from one of the girls from Sao Paulo.  The Gringos expect it, but not the Brazilians.  See what you get when you hang with gringos.  Still, we had a wonderful time.  Great music.  I can always buy new shoes.
