Early morning wake up call

We didn't order one, but received one just the same.  When the sun gets up at 5:30 AM, people feel that everyone should also get up, and the city comes to life, bustling with all sorts of noise.  This morning, a car was honking in big long honks, like trying to summon someone out of their home.  Not sure why that took more than 20 minutes of honking, but maybe the person they were picking up was asleep, I was until that honking.  And since 6 AM, there has been loud music playing from the street.  I am not sure it's source, a local home, or another apartment, but it is big booming sound like a sound truck that drives the streets, but I can't see the truck, and this music is constant.  If it isn't the early soccer matches in the park at sunrise, it is something else.  The sun is so strong and direct in the morning, that it fills our room completely, even with curtains drawn.  There is no blocking it out, the sun, the sound, the noise, Brasil.  I plan on sleeping in upon return.

P.S.  Did I mention the night time birds that are very loud, and sound like a car alarm when they are chirping...
