Brazil Bonanza 3: Salvador de Bahia

Salvador de Bahia is a few hours north of Rio and has an afro-carribean vibe.

View from a local "hole-in-the-wall"







The whole place has a slightly rundown vibe...


Not a lot of people speak english. Which may be why enrolling at the Okey Dokey language school seems like a good idea.


Tuesday night is Samba night in Paraty and this entire entire staircase fills up with a stage, band and people dancing. I forgot my camera that night but it's quite the scene.

A new friend at the hostel...


Classic local costumes...

 And it has some awesome beaches

Down the street from my hostel:


 Old letter box.

 A friendly invitation to join the Capoiera circle (Brazilian martial art, also originary from Bahia).

Sound system cart selling CDs and apparently MP3s
