So you want to know how we spent our first anniversary? Going to a samba show in Brazil! It was actually more of an over-the-top tourist junket that featured traditional dances from all over Latin America called Rafain Churrascaria Restaurant in Iguazu Falls. It was totally cheesy, but still entertaining and memorable.
We really weren't this into the show, but the couple next to us grabbed my camera and insisted on a picture. Just as amusing as the show itself was the busloads full of Japanese people who were more interested in their cameras and gadgets and video recorders than the actual show itself, quite a few of them were sleeping during the show and then they all left early!
Our super-awesome guide even arranged for the Rafain to bring us out a cake and took us to get a picture with one of the samba dancers- who happened to be Ms. Iguazu Falls in this years carnival. Are those real?? Pretty decent dinner buffet, but we arrived late. Drinks were extra, but it was overall reasonably priced for the entertainment factor.
It totally cracked me up and was so appropriate to hear the mariachi's and see the dancers on our anniversary. Brought back good memories of Mexico last year....
This was the coolest lady and best part of the show. She had these little ropes with a wooden ball on the end of each and she had incredible talent and rhythm with the girl on drums. It was very entertaining and then she lit them on fire and whirled them around some more.
And of course- here's the samba dancers with big scary feather birds dancing around that everybody has been waiting for!
GOOD NEWS OF THE DAY: Best anniversary I've ever had! :)
