RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (Reuters) -- Brazilians forgot their troubles on Sunday night as Rio de Janeiro's annual Carnival exploded into an extravaganza of flesh, fantasy and unrelenting drumming and dancing, as the parade of Samba schools lasted almost to dawn.
At least 70,000 people packed the Sambodromo, a wide avenue lined with viewing stands and bleachers, and millions more watched on television across the Latin American nation and the world as seven schools marched along the route for more than hour each, hoping to win the champion's crown.
Seven more will parade on Monday night.
Dancers in plumed headdresses and minuscule bikinis, or dressed up in elaborate costumes as insects, flowers, Arab sheiks or Roman Centurions, gyrated.
