The Bloco das Carmelitas supposedly began when 2 Carmelite nuns ran off from the nunnery one year to attend the Carnival festivities. Now there is a bloco in their honor! Some friends and I watched the parade go by and I got great footage of the "batteria" or drum and percussion corps. This bloco is held in the streets of Santa Teresa in the hills above Rio's downtown. A beautiful location and the narrow streets make for a fun if packed environment.
