Bernice and I will be going to the capitol city Maceio in the state of Alagoas on Wednesday. We will be a part of a Youth Convention that is happening during Carnival. Here is the definition for Carnival according to Wikipedia:

The Brazilian Carnival (Portuguese: Carnaval) is an annual celebration in Brazil held forty days before Easter and marking the start of Lent. During Lent, Roman Catholics, which constitute the majority in Brazil, are to abstain from bodily pleasures. Carnival, which is celebrated as a profane event, can thus be considered an act of farewell to the pleasures of the flesh.
