A year ago last September, my two daughters and I were taking a ferry from Ilha Grande to Angra dos Reis. We happened to arrive on Brazilian Independence Day and there was an enormous parade in Angra with many youth samba troupes, high school marching bands, Scouting troops and other youth dancing groups. It was amazing how much it felt like an Independence Day parade in the U.S. with our HS Marching Bands. I’ve not been to Carnival in Rio, but this was certainly wholesome, patriotic and quite inspiring.
People should leave her alone. This is a non issue; little girls everywhere love to dress up and dance, why have such dirty minds about it??
