Congress is Over and the FUN begins!

Hehe...now my wife is very very happy!! Finally, my Congress is just over and today we went on a Staff Tour in the Upper City of Salvador Bahia. Marking the first day of me, not having to wear a suit, I could finally put on my havaianas flip-flops for my first tour since my arrival!

Starting from the lighthouse Barra, marking one of the tips of the Salvador State (photo below), we then went on from the lower part, Cidade Alta and moved to the upper parts.

Salvador is built around a very old, cracky, or craggy hill, somewhat on the eastern side of the bay, spliting into the lower and upper sections. Interestingly, both sections, the Cidada Alta and Cidade Baixa, is linked by a toweringly Art Deco lift shaft of the Carlos Lacerda elevador - the city's largest landmark. (photo below)

In the 3 hour tour, Pauline had one good buy and I was very tempted to buy a Brazilian Hammock back...I also thought the paintings were very nice...sigh, i think I shall stick to my plans of getting one or two Brazilian Music, really catchy!

Anyway....below are the photos that we took! Check it out!













































Penguin, this last one is for you. Today the Sun was better and the Surf was more!

Anyway, we might not get Internet access in the next few days as we will be going to Rio de Jeneiro (4 days), Buzios (3 days) and Paraty (4 days). Will keep everyone posted on our travels and thanks for coming back to check!

Ciao en Bon Dia!
