Walking around Gandu the next day


Luma displaying the seeds inside the fruit of a cacoa (cocoa) tree.  It didn't taste anything like chocolate, but they were good!  (We ate the white stuff covering the seed, not
the cocoa seed itself)





There's the actual cocoa seed

Posing outside a bathroom--Luma's idea : )


The second night of São João-
Ricardo's friends & their families









This is the view from our hotel the second night... we didn't get much sleep...

I am wearing Luma's ”São João“ outfit




Dancing to forro music

Luma's doing the “Brazilian pose.”

Now I'm doing the “Brazilian pose.”    (It's the tilting of the head thing ... apparently everyone does it.)

The next day, our view from the breakfast table in Gandu


Driving back to Salvador



A favela outside Salvador

Luma, Hillary and I went shopping at Mercado Modelo in the lower city, then took the elevator to the upper city and went 

...shopping in Pelourinho

Our view at lunch

I purchased one of these wall hangings--they're beautiful!
