And here's our costume / et voici notre costume.....

As Champions, the school has to parade again, in full costume, to celebrate the successful carnaval (and to give the sponsors more TV time). So, on Saturday night, or rather at 4am Sunday morning, we again samba'd along the sambodromo. This time is wasn't a competition and we could take more time to enjoy it. And take more photos.....

Alors, etant les vainqueurs de ce carnaval 2008 (incroyable mais vrai !), les 5 premieres ecoles de samba defilent de nouveau samedi soir (chouette !!!), c'est la parade des champions, celle qui fait le bonheur des sponsors, un autre passage sur les ecrans, et le notre bien sur, deuxieme opportunite de se "plumer" et danser la samba au Sambodromo de Rio de Janeiro ! A 4h du matin, nous sommes rentres en scene, sans pression et avec bien plus du temps pour apprecier cette magique experience (beaucoup de souvenirs et enormes de photos)....

He's the one who wrote the Beija Flor song!
