Every year, we face old and new Carnaval challenges. This year's parade is not exception. With the Brazilian Carnaval (organized by Friends of Brazil) happening in March, the San Francisco Carnaval parade was put in the back burner until the beginning of April. As a result, we rushed to organize and set up the contingents, costumes, float, sound system, and stage show. To complicate matters, we also decided to parade with 2 other amazing groups organized by Conceicao Damasceno and Jorge Alabe. However, it has all been worth it.
With one night left before the parade, we have managed to again overcome adversities and make this another unforgettable parade. Without a doubt, tomorrow George Alabe will bring the crowd to their feet with a live bateria and Rene Flores will sing one of my favorite songs--"Verde e Rosa." Best of all, we have an amazing contingent. As my hubby pointed out, "They are a good looking group of people." Check out the photos!
