Night at a Samba Club

Leonardo brought me out to a Samba Club last night in a quaint little house near a fishing village, and boy was it crowded for a Sunday night!  Cars lined the street for miles around, and when we got into the club, it was packed!

This is also probably the cheapest bar that I had gone to since arriving in Brazil, with a cover charge of BRL10.00 and caipirinha at BRL5.00 per glass!

We squeezed our way through to the outside area on the other end of the entrance, where we could get a good view of the band, which played really good samba music when we were there.

The vibes of the place was wonderful and everyone was enjoying themselves, with some people dancing to the samba music, but mostly just immersing themselves in the live music and chatting with friends. 

At one point, someone started dancing a little flamenco, which was interesting to watch.

We stayed on for a couple hours and decided to call it a night at around midnight as Leonardo had to work the next day. 

Good fun!
