Heaven on earth

This saturday 6th of Febrary, our breakfast had an special sound...the Carnaval Block (bloco de Carnaval) "Céu na Terra", with musicians playing inside the Bondinho .
Watch the crowd at our bar, over the balcony is a very exciting experience. Take a look (sorry, but because of the distance, the pic is not that good)!!


And then, the train follows ahead with the crowd and passes at Largo dos Guimarães, central point in Santa Teresa, when our guests can comfortable go outside, down to this square (4 minutes walking) and take proof of the great event that is to see this crowd wearing fancy clothes and following the train singing and jumping...so, this second picture is to show the view from the slope that connects our Hotel to Largo dos Guimarães:
