WAHOOO!! We are finally here! We landed in Salvador, Brazil and grabbed a bite to eat, then headed straight to our hostel named Alpha in Barra (pronounced ba-ha). The hostel was gross and smelled like piss so I was pretty glad to get out of there early the next morning. We chilled on the beach for a bit, then J got a Subway (they have them in Salvador!). We then hitched a bus for about 40 minutes to the bus station. On the bus we got to see pretty much all of Salvador. They have this really cool lake with statues of women dancing on it. Also, their port is absolutely gorgeous. They have a market that goes on next to the port that is just so cool. We caught a bus to Ilheus and got there just in time to catch the bus to Itacare that came six minutes later. Itacare is SO cool! It is this tiny little beach town surrounded by chill beaches. The hostels all have hammocks hanging, and you can see little monkeys from out of your window because we are in the caribbean-like rain forest. The town is filled with people traveling (many israelis!) and surfers. Unfortunately we are here for the rainy season, but we will still get up every day to learn how to surf! Tonight J and I made dinner with an Israeli girl named Adi and a German girl named Anika that are both staying at our hostel. We heard from Adi that we should try to get out of Brazil earlier than planned so we can spend more time in Peru because supposedly Peru is just absolutely awesome. The saddest news of all is that I scratched my cornea at some point in my travels, and now I cant really open my eye in direct sunlight. Hopefully that will go away soon though, because the woman of our hostel brought me to a pharmacy and helped me get drops. Here is hopin!
I am having a GREAT time!!
I hope you all are too!
And sev, I called on your birthday but nobody picked up. I hope it was a great one!!
