After almost a week exploring Salvador we were ready to see another part of Bahia that is famous, the beaches! We spent one afternoon at a local beach and boy was it an experience. Lots of butts, quail eggs, cheese, and great people watching. I love Brazilians because they are all about having fun with their loved ones. We "talked" with a young woman and her adorable little boy. EVERYONE wanted to get dark, I've never seen that before. I remember going to Florida with my FUBball girls and all the white girls were tanning while the black girls were hiding under an umbrella. I kind of chuckled at the polar opposites of the cultures.

Everyone kept telling us we had to go to Praia de Forte, so we knew that was a must. At the beginning of the week we felt daring and were willing to rent a
car and drive the hour to the beach by ourselves, but as the week wore
on we lost our confidence leaned towards hiring a driver to take us
there so we could relax. I am so glad we did! We got a free Portuguese
lesson for the day and he took us to parts of the beaches that were
remote and peaceful.

What's a vacay without a jump picture?
We had a blast and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The time went by way too fast, we cherished every meal, nap, sight, and all the time we had alone. Now only 22 days until we are back in the States!!!
