Sofitel Salvador

... we would always walk into town and check out what was going on. Brasileans are very funny people. this weekend was a long weekend for them, so the entire town, literally, was outside and partying. the cool thing there is to have this crazy soundsystem in the trunk of you car, and put music on as loud as it can go, and have a couple pople with you dancing outside the car. yeah, cool, we are outside and get to hear some music playing right? no, not cool cause every ...

... I met a lesbian that was crying her eyes out because she was leaving her girlfriend in Salvador. A drunken guy speaking Portuguese also harassed me for a few minutes. I pushed him back 2 times but it was not a violent thing. I just moved him. The 2 girls next to me did not know what his problem was. Finally, the man behind me (I think he was military or a federal police man) got up and twisted his arm and moved him back to his seat………… Good times!!!!

... running around trying to find an internet cafe so I could check our contact info, we finally made inside. Dropped off our bags and proceded to party. Carnival is nuts I don´t really want to get into specifics cause it feels like I´ve been typing for an hour and I am melting in this cafe. Anyways we may trying to go skate today which would be good cause we have just been partying for the last 4 days or is that 5?

... in long columns, easily spotted in their brown unforms wth white helmets. Unfortunately on the last night of the carnival, we were victims of this, having our camera and some money stolen from my pocket, during one of the many crushes, to be honest, it was probably a little stupid to have brought the camera to the carnival , as we really wanted to have photos of the event. Amazingly , Daniella met one of her friends from university at the carnival, given the ...

... EVER! There was about 6 of us and it was way cool. Two awesome girls from Argentina, a japanese girl called Mai and Dors (eventually) and I. He said to us ´its friday I want to drink beer later, lets just play today, and not work´. It was awesome. ´Free flow expression and joy! Oh it was amazing! I took lots of video footage to show ya´ll on my return. I had my lesson with Paulinho today (formerly PhilipeLOL) but I didnt enjoy it much ...

... saw the strangest roadkill yet, a poor unfortunate snake had been hit. Whilst biking in the village, he saw a couple of random monkeys. It was pretty cool. We met up again to have a late afternoon beer then it was time to head to the bus stop to catch a bus back to Salvador. We were flying out the next morning pretty early so we had to stay close to the airport. After about an hr and a half trip, we jumped off the bus to be greeted by an older guy offering his ...

... tête. Un autre foulard noué autour des hanches. BLANC. Immaculé. Seules les ornementations les distinguent les unes des autres. Certaines portent autour des bras des barcelets de cuir ornés de coquillages. Certaines ont ces coquillages sur les nombreux colliers qu'elles portent autour du cou et qui leurs descendent jusqu'à la taille. Blanc immaculé des étoffes. Gaité Tapageuse des multiples rangs multipcolores des colliers. Un rang bleu. Ou trois rangs, un vert ...

... back 2 feet or more, giving Jazzie and I the space we needed....I earned a nod of approval from the barkeep. I gave Djarma a big cuddle today and he gave me one back and told me how well I was going.... He has totally pushed me... but into this new great space. Loads of links, loads of connections and he´s clever enough with routines that he seems to have designed ones that don´t aggravate my hip. The turns are on the good leg etc. He also made us ...

... t have any regard for anyone but themselves. People spit on the ground right beside you and they throw their rubbish everywhere right in front of you too, which is one of my pet hates! There are people asleep in the middle of the paths and under every tree and every doorway, no matter what time of day it is, I am still working out if these people or homeless or just very lazy! Most people seem to be high on glue and they always have a can of beer in their hand ...

We arrived in Salvador de Bahia very early this morning - we always sleep with our balcony door open and since we are on the Port side - we don't receive sun until the afternoon - so when the blinding sun woke us up at about 6 a.m. (Sunrise is at 4:50 a.m.) we were curious as to why that was. We were heading into the Baia de Todos os Santos - Bay of Saints and we had turned around to reach the Port in Salvador. This city of over 2 million people has ...
