Stephanie was very accommodating. Although we got started a bit late due to the complications of carnaval-time traffic, she and her driver managed to get us to see some of the floats up front and personal and then went on to enjoy an evening of merriment at a live music venue in Lapa. She shared lots of great information about the festivities and about Brazil in general. Her English is good, her Spanish and French seem better. Having lived in Germany, her German should be excellent. We had fun and were able to do things as other Brazilians would, not tourists. Thank YOU.
