| At the Lighthouse (Farol da Barra) |
Rain, rain go away- that could be the theme for our time in Salvador, Brazil so far. But Tiffany and I are determined to still have fun. Yesterday, we landed here at 4:30am and settled into our apartment. I use the term apartment loosely, it's more like a bigger hostel. Since we didn't sleep a lot the night before (a 2 am flight will do that to you) we slept a lot yesterday. Finally we grabbed some food and it started raining cats & dogs. We ended up staying in the restaurant for a few hours, waiting for the rain to stop before we walked back home.
Today we started out early, this time with our umbrellas packed in our purses. After a brief shopping stint, we checked out the oldest lighthouse in South America. The views from the top were amazing - seeing the fisherman on the rocks on the coast, the large boats off the shore, people walking on the beach. We then checked out the Cristo statue and started walking toward the city center. There we spent most of the rest of the day exploring the Church of Saint Francis, the Afro Brazilian museum, the Mercado Modelo and walking around the streets of Pelourinho. All in all it was a great day, despite the rain.
