Only thing was, I had absolutely no idea what 2 million pissed people in the rain looked like. I do now, and at times the crush was slightly worrying.
Over all though, a great time was had and as the fireworks began I have to say that it was pretty moving to be part of the gargantuan hedonistic knees up. - As we kissed and hugged each other (just because we'd managed to walk down to the beach without losing each other, I almost forgave the bloke that held my arm aloft in the crowd and rifled my pockets. Nice guy.
Anyhow - happy new year to everyone - may it bring you every happiness.
Next year I'm doing something much much more chilled out.

There's nothing like NYE on Copacabana Beach! But for me - just once every 8 years or so... I may be getting too old.
ReplyDeleteWe were there for the 2000 millenium celebration. WOW! And we were very lucky to get a van back to Niterói straight away. In those days there were no chemical toilets. The beach was a "waist" land URGH!
Things have improved. Definitely.
