« Salvador – Brazil | Main | Em’s Birthday »
December 22, 2005
Good Weather, Good Food
Today, after heading to the travel agency and squaring away the last few details for our trip to Rio, we headed back to the hotel, threw on our swimsuits, and grabbed a taxi to the beach.
Once there we rented a few chairs and an umbrella and then took turns going for swims in the ocean. The water was unbelievably warm and it was just the type of beach that I’ve been looking for the whole trip. It was an odd scene sitting on a beach in 95 degree weather this close to Christmas but we all adapted to it pretty easily.
After the beach we headed to Fort Barro whish was located at the end of the beach. We toured the museum that was located in the building. It had some very informative exhibits on the history of navigation and slaver in Salvador and Bahia.
Tonight, of dinner, Em got us to go to a show that featured dancing and capoera. I never been one to put too much faith in martial arts in terms of practicality, but these guys were amazing athletes and could latterly kick someone in the face faster anyone could duck or step backwards.
Not only are we off to Rio tomorrow, but it is also Em’s birthday. Like my birthday, a good portion of hers is going to be spent on a bus, but Rio should be worth the long journey.
