Welcome to My Castle

Marcio Mizael Matolias is King of his castle: a giant sand castle! The Brazilian man built an elaborate sand castle 22 years ago in Rio de Janeiro, with a room 10 square feet inside. He started spending so much time there, that he moved in permanently! He keeps it wet, and can rebuild for free if it gets destroyed!

Mardi Party!

You can call today Shrove Tuesday, Pancake Day, Carnival, Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday. The day before Ash Wednesday, the start of a Christian period of fasting called Lent, is a good excuse for parties and overindulgence. For days of parades and celebrations, visit New Orleans, Rio de Janeiro, Venice, Nice France, or Goa India.
