I enjoyed my trip down memory lane when reading and re-reading your piece, Kelly! Goa, New Orleans - celebrations and "walking" parades. I love the different facets you bring to walking each week, and getting to see Lisboa through your feet, eyes and words.
For many years in Goa - the Portuguese colony in India. And to New Orleans Mardi Gras celebrations. In Canada, the Caribbanna is a similar parade held in the summer time. But a true (post-pagan!) "Carnival" is the weekend leading into Ash Wednesday and Lent.

Thank you for connecting and editing! Have you ever been to other Carnival celebrations ?

Ah how fun! I had a chance to go to Karneval in Germany once and your piece was bringing me back.
Ohh how fun to see how holidays are celebrated around the world! 🌍
"Sometimes your pop of color doesn’t have to be as big and grand as a neon rainbow flowing from a sparkly watering can on stilts..."

Great reminder to add a lil pizazz to my next walk, maybe by hitting up a different neighborhood.
