More Carnaval

I liked these clowns a lot - they were among the more lively and energetic group and on a colourful float as well, so there may be a couple more of them later.
Here is a sample of the Brazilian "influence" on the Portuguese Carnaval, according to our guide. There was one young woman on this float that wore only a "g-string" and paint - she must have been freezing, possibly even more than the others, as the second time we saw this group she was gone.
In 2009 I think there was some identification of who or where the bands and performers were from but this year there was none of that apparent so not sure who these folks are or where they are from.
A lot of folks who were in the parade paid attention to these two little girls who were part of the crowd - they were gathering as much of the streamers and other paraphernalia thrown from the floats. Not sure what this fellow was giving them. There will be more photos of the girls.
This was one of the more attractive floats though, again, I am not sure what it represented - I was focused on the people and thought this lady in the window would make a nice photo. She was one of those in the parade who looked like they were enjoying themselves.

This is all the photos google will allow so, another post later.
