Rua enfeitada

Rumo ao hexa?

I was listening to 98FM out of Rio de Janeiro on the morning of Brazil's debut in the World Cup. The announcer was asking callers about whether their street was "enfeitada." Enfeitar is to decorate or embellish. Here's an example of the kind of decorating that people are doing all over Brazil in their enthusiasm for the cup.

The sign in the forefront "Rumo ao Hexa" means loosely "Headed for the sixth" referring to the sixth time winning the World Cup. I can't wait until Brazil plays again!
