We flew to Salvador after Buzios to see another area of Brazil. This area is called Bahia, the largest bay in Brazil. We spent time at the beach that was located right across the street from our hotel. One night they had an Aquathon--where athletes would run several miles in a loop on the sand and then swim about a mile in the water and then get out and run again. It was really enjoyable to watch. We spent a day wandering around the old area of the city, called Pelourinho. There were a lot of artisans, restaurants, shops, and chapels. This area of Brazil was very diverse and is known for its large "Carnaval" festival--the 2nd largest in Brazil after Rio. On the last morning we were there, they had a parade of people on stilts and in costume with loud music blaring down the street. It was entertaining to see all the people.
