Boi Bumba

Paritins was our next port of call as we sailed up the Amazon. The highlight was a visit to the Bumbadome where the Boi Bumba is celebrated each June. Later we saw a performance by the current champion team. A stunning performance with outstanding costumes, staging and dancing.
We were given a private viewing of the historic costume display. Gail tried on a small one!


The town is divided into two teams, red and blue. The Blue team has the black bull and the red team the white bull.


                                                Wonderful costumes and dancing.


The stage sets were huge. This green character is holding a dancer. Can you see her back?


Another of the great performers. We will send an extra blog of photos

No, I do not like your hat.
Goodbye.

Maybe they meant to say "can you see her backside?"?
