Take me back to the night I dressed up like an Arabic Egyptian girl and danced on the street. We filled these streets with sound and color as we passed small restaurants and homes. This little town called Olinda is very small with tight streets and plenty of houses built on top of each other. It’s a cute little town very colorful and famous for their culture. Some residents are very into religion and attending church, while others entertain with crazy funky dances in the streets.
As foreigners, we made fools of ourselves, but it was a blast trying to copy our Brazilian dance leaders. For as long as 45 minutes, we danced, paraded and chanted. We were exhausted getting back on that bus by the end of the night because it’s not easy dancing like Brazilians.
