The Brazilian community here in New York apparently is trying to make the washing of 46th street to be a tradition along the lines of the washing of the steps of Nosso Senhor do Bonfim in Salvador, the capital of the state of Bahia, Brazil.
Details can be found here. It would great if some non-Brazilians showed up.
Someday, somehow, I'm going to see Bonfim. Now to get the money to go, that's the problem.
