At one of the many discotecas I attended in Brazil, there was a photo company that was very entertained by the gringo in the yellow Brazilian soccer jersey.

the ferry from Bom Despacho to Salvador.  

the second bus to Bom Despacho.  

the first bus leaving us at a bus stop in the middle of nowhere on some abandoned island. I was a little worried at his point.... 

our first trek in the long travel home from Morro de Sao Paolo spent on this cruiser!  

the town of Morro de Sao Paolo 

a view at sunset.  

The popular game of Fresco ball. These two guys were some of the best that I had ever seen! I played some, but my gringo skills are definitely lacking.  

This is the fourth and last. The beaches are more abandoned as you get farther from the village. I get the feeling you could run around the entire island on a beach.  

This is the third. Notice the shallow water on the left. The tide is currently out, but this area fills up quickly as we found out when the tide rolls in.  

There are four sets of adjacent beaches as walk out of the town. This is the second and most popular.  

A view of Morro de Sao Paolo and the accompanying beaches. It�s a town of less than 3,000 people.  

Me, drinking water and fighting motion sickness on the to Morro de Sao Paolo. 

This is a view of Salvador as we are leaving on a catamaran for Morro de Sao Paolo. 

..another view from the cobble-stone streets. I think these pictures really capture the essence of the city.  

Sunset near Salvador.  

The custom Bahia dress! For Carnaval, thousands of Brazilians and tourists dress up in celebration. Salvador is supposed to be amazing a Carnaval. I personally think the dreads look good!  

Igreja Sao Francisco, the most popular church in Salvador. This square was also the sight of of many of the slave trades that took place in Salvador in the 16th and 17th centuries.  

A view of the Cathedral Basilica.  

One of our Portugese friends, Adriana, negotiating in Portugese with one of the many street vendors at this popular tourist destination.  

Two of the more popular museums in Largo do Pelouinho.  

A view of one of the many cobble-stoned streets towards Largo do Pelourinho.  

This is the cultural square of Terreiro de Jesus located in the city center, named Pelourinho.  

a view to the from the upper part along the coastline.  

The center of Salvador is split up in to parts -- the upper part and the lower part. This a view from the upper part of the city down to the wharf.
