Draft program for Rio Carnival 2005
29th January to 9th February
This is a draft progam for our trip. We will try to combine day and night
activities. The good thing about Rio is that most of the night-outings start late, around 11:00pm. So, we will have time to
rest before going out.
This is a flexible program that should reach the group and the participants
interests. There are some group activities, which we all should be involved in, such as going to the Samba Schools Rehearsals.
