Wordless Wednesday: Brazilian Independence Day


Since Brazilian Independence day hardly celebrated, at least not in the opinion of this American (we really do know how to bust out a decent 4th of July), I decided to post some old school Sete de Setembro pictures.








FYI: For those who don't know, today is the celebration of Brazil's independence from Portugal. Woo Hoo!

  3. Plug, you're in the NE, right?

    I think Cariocas are more low key. Anon, I know there is a parade here but I don't know anyone who actually goes!
