This past week, I finally talked to my sister again. It had been almost a month and a half since the last time we spoke. (I need to be better about initiating contact) Hence, a bottle of wine and four hours on the phone later!!! In the end, it is possible she will be able to come to Rio for Carnaval this year!! Last year a couple of colleagues' sisters visited, and I sulked because my sister wasn't here and she is way prettier and way smarter than those other sisters.. So, in preparation for Dana's possible upcoming visit....here's a video of one of the blocos from last Feb.
