Zank Hotel Salvador

I'm quite sad to be leaving Cachoeira, I think I may have fallen for the place. The friendly people, the tranquil setting and the old colonial architecture makes Cachoeira one of my favourite towns I've visited so far in South America. I think in the coming years Cachoeira will become a big tourist destination so I'm really glad I've visited before the tourism flood gates open ...

... Bea arrives from London and they need some time together. Today, I will dance about 5 hours. After my classes, Flaviano will return to stay with me for a few days. Whilst we work out more stuff. Denise is a bit of a sensate as well and she just loved Flaviano, he was joking around with her, helping her out. She said she noticed how much he helped people, just cared for them and how much he loves me. She said it seems set... The other thing is ...

... hitting him but then think it is not probably the best idea and just continue walking. Thatīs the way Salvador is, thatīs the Pelourinho.


From the Pelourinho, four elevators (Lacerda elevator) can take you down ...

... where I am going to be living, this decision may come as a good job offer or as a cheap rental in Aspen or Snowmass(near Aspen) as Aspen is my favourite choice. Other choices are Vail, Whistler, Copper, Breckenridge, all these are mountains in Colorado. Other choices are Vermont or NY that is near Dellaware that is a place I want to visit. In Dellaware friend , whos been a teacher in the past, is waiting on the university to show me things about his research for ...

... went to the same rally driving school as the Bolivian drivers though so that at least was comforting. There are no more funny little ladies in their funny little bowler hats and multiple layered skirts - I miss them! The general fashion guidelines in Brazil seem to be: 1) always buy your clothes at least one size too small 2) wear bright colours 3) let it all hang out! (And when ...

... so far.

We took our emergency exit seats complete with extra leg room (well done Katie!) and settled back for the two hour flight down the east coast to the city of Salvador.

Before we started our epic 9 month journey I didn't hear a bad word about Salvador, in fact everyone who mentioned it absolutely RAVED about it. So it was one of those ...

So after taking a night bus into Salvador we hoped on a air con bus for an hour ride through the city to get to the historic center, Pelourinho. (yes we later found out that it could only take 20 mins, but we didn't know at the time....) but we were in Salvador! So after putting our things down into the hotel and bringing only the bare minimum (considering how nervous I was due to the fact that Jenna got jumped!) we set out to explore! Salvador ...

... river boat into the bay to the island where our bus met us and took us back to our ship. The ferry was too full for our bus and Haley and I needed to get back to our ship for the Bahia by night show. So we went with one of the Portuguese speaking teachers to get on the ferry on foot and ride the hour across the bay. While on the ferry some young boys came to try their english skills. One spoke very well, the other was shy and couldn't speak any english ...
