With the carnival in Goa in full swing, Brazil is not far behind.The traditional celebrations began in Rio de Janeiro with the mayor presenting the keys to the city to Rei Momo.
For the ninth time in a row Alex de Oliveira was chosen King Momo. Next to his beauty queen and two princesses, he declared open the Carnival.
As violence becomes a growing issue in Rio, officials have announced a tight security plan for the five days of Carnival. In Greek mythology, Momo was the god of delight and revelry.
