Salvador - Bahia

Salvador is the capital of Bahia, province in Brazil. It´s wellknown to its easygoing population and countless popular outdoor parties, including its street carnival. Actually the whole Bahia is wellknown for it´s easygoing residents. We went to an small unbelivable beautiful village named Barra Grande. It´s an ´happy' peninsula with it´s streets from zand and only coco and banana trees. The most beautiful beaches and very nice people. There´s an famous expression in Brazil about Bahia: sorria! você está na Bahia! - laugh because you´re in Bahia. We stayed at Thalitha´s (my friends firend) beautiful beachhouse. Everything was made out of natural materials, whereever you stand you can see and hear the sea, there was an swimmingpool in front of my bedroom door and everyehere hammocks. Thalita is the queen of Forro (the famous dance of Bahia) she teaches everybody this dance and every night there was a party at the beach. It´s unbelivable how important it is to know how to dance, it´s a big part of the evening next to the drinking. Brazilian people drink at first a lot of ice-icecold beer, they serve it in 1L bottles in an plastic bottle to keep it cold then they drink it out of small glasses so it stays cold as long as possible. Second is the caipirigna (with cachaca) and than caipirosca (with vodka).
