Pics from Brazil - much more to come

---

Ok, this is just so everyone gets an idea of what I've been doing. I love it here. I know the pics will seem empty without writing, but I promise I will have entries for the past week and a half by Wednesday (terca-feira). Tchau for now.

Beach
View of a praia (the beach) from the Statue of Jesus, catholism and christianity is huge here.

Beach Soccer, anyone?
These guys are amazing. Soccer is huge in Brazil (duh), beach soccer is not for the weak.

View from our room
Right on the beach! Yeah baby!

Same view, different hora
Sunsets are beautiful at 13 degrees lattitude.

Just silly
Who wouldn't be excited about this place?

Capoeira demo
These guys were rediculously awesome. Jaimundo hooked us up!

Church in Pelorinho
This is one of the oldest building in Brazil. The weather was crazy that day.

Group pic
Here's everyone, except Abbie, who took the photo.

O mercado
Literally, the market.

Peacocks!
Peacocks in the market. That's Abbie and Rita (she's an amazing women, like Mother Teresa).

Moquequa
A traditional food of Bahia, the state of Brazil we are currently in. It has fish, onions, green tomatoes and bomb spices, it is so incredibly delicious!

Sea Turtle!
There's a big effort to save sea turtles (and box, and snappers) from extinction.

Rancho Janis Joplin
In Arembepe there is a hippie village where Janis Joplin, Mick Jagger, and Richard Gear came to live for a while back in the 60s and 70s. More to come.
