Today is the Independence Day of Brazil. On this day in 1822 Dom Pedro II declared the independence of his country from Portugal, since then the country has proudly celebrated the day with much fanfare and excitement. Thousands gather to proudly celebrate Brazilian Independence Day every year. A country of mythic proportions, people gather in the streets, celebrating with banners, balloons and streamers. A young Brazilian woman carries the national flag -- the symbol of the greatest democracy and presently most successful and largest country in all of South America. Students take part in the parade held in the morning, flying the Brazilian flag with great dignity. The carnival lasts all day and people of all ages take part. In the evening people gather to see amazing fireworks light up the clear sky above the blue-black Amazon.
