Carnaval 1/20
So misinformation was abound on Sunday as I tried to participate in the Carnival parade. Decked out in military green and the cardboard drum I’d made with my rasta buddy Deka (pictured), I looked for Akiyo for hours. It turned out that Akiyo left their headquarters earlier than usual and took a entirely different route than anyone expected. I wasn’t the only one confused, many passersby that saw my costume stopped me to inquire about the groups whereabouts. Sadly, I was of no help.
I never got to march with Akiyo on Sunday, but was able to watch some of the other Carnival groups pass by. In the end, witnessing the variety of costumes and music was a fair consolation; though I couldn’t raise my arms in the crush of people to get good pictures.
