From Novica:
Dear Friends,
I still remember the first time I participated in the big
Carnaval parade -- from the inside! With hundreds of other
artists and workers, I helped decorate the floats. Now, years
later, each time I see the parade, I think about the many people
behind the scenes who work hard to make this spectacular show
happen.
As we enjoy Carnaval here in Rio together with our communities
and tourists from around the world, we're excited to announce a
sitewide Brazil sale in honor of Carnaval!
