Carnaval, Mardi Gras, Shrove Tuesday, Pancake Day. The day you eat all the rich foods in your cupboard, before you start the serious business of Lent, beginning on Ash Wednesday.
Or in Brasil, start another 5 days of drinking and partying. Which is how on the first Sunday of Lent I found myself in the centre of Rio, having a beer for elevenses, taking selfies with strangers and dancing alongside a block with half a million of my closest (and newest) friends and 4-5 [insert expletives] people who stole my phone, which is why I don’t have any photos ☹
