The second float
Only in Lebanon
Brazilian crowd cheering
Though we had to wait for around 2 hours for the Brazilian Carnival to finally start; the 15 minutes it lasted was well worth it. But more than so it was great to meet some tweeps in real life.

Being typically Lebanese while desacrating our pride! Besides they had the best view of the event:)

i just came back from the same carnival in Batroun, we also had to wait for a really long time, but the problem was that there were so much people, it was annoying…

There was a swarm of people as well, but thanks to Liliane we were able to reserve a nice spot on the hill near the statue of martyrs and then we pushed through to get some photos 🙂
You should also see @toniyammine ‘s photos on facebook, they were made on a pro camera and were amazing !
