After the wildlife of the Pantanal it was off to Salvador for some beach action as Jane is determined to come home with a tan for Lizzie´s wedding. Salvador was the capital of Brazil and the Portugese empire (apparently they had one?) for a number of years as well as being a major slave centre back in the day. Due to all these factors it has great colonial architecture and a massive African culture. We arrived on Tuesday evening which was a stroke of luck as this is the one week night when the carnival groups all rehearse in the streets, [View Full Entry]

When I was told back in September I would be going to Carnival I couldn’t believe it, carnival is suppose to be the number one festival and this year I would be a part of it…wow. As time went by I didn’t think too much about it until we went to Brazil, for the first time I experienced their traditional music called Samba in Sao Paulo, and it was love at first sound. Samba is a type of music, played in Portuguese, by 5-20 people performing in a band and they all play together while the whole crowd sing along. [View Full Entry]

Hi all! So I have been here in Brasil for about 5 days now and I am having a blast. The people here are amazing. All of us volunteers live in a three story house in a middle class area of Salvador. The beach is about 10 minutes away by foot and I am there any chance I get! I am about 2 shades darker already... Last night we went to the historic part of Salvador named Pelohrinho. Every Tuesday night the town has live music, dancing and lots of food and drinks!!! 8) We danced the night away, it was [View Full Entry]

Parece mentira pero si, en menos de 10 dias se acabo mi aventura... vuelvo a casa chicos !!!!!! La verdad...NO tengo ganas;;; y si por mi fuera no volveria, pero supongo que tengo que volver a mis responsabilidades y ganar un poquito de dinero ...creo que estoy arruinada!!!!. La verdad no me importa lo mas minimo, sin lugar a dudas ha sido el dinero mejor invertido de mi vida y pienso seguir haciendo mas inversiones como esta. El aterrizaje a la vida real va a ser forzoso, dejar estas playas maravillosas, el sol, la alegria de los bahianos y cariocas [View Full Entry]

Mi viaje de Buenos Aires a Iguazu fue un placer, cogi un autobus nocturno de lujo! mejor que un avion. Servian comida caliente, vino, el asiento se inclinaba hasta 180 grados !!!asi que era estar como en una cama y por primera vez no me tuve que tragar peliculas de Jacki Chan!!!! Las 17 horas de viaje pasaron volando, cuando abri los ojos las luces y el trafico de la ciudad habian desaparecido, de nuevo estaba en un ambiente de lo mas tropical. Las cascadas las vi desde el lado Argentino primero y despues desde el lado Brasilero. Durante dos dias [View Full Entry]

First of all, I have to apologize to everyone for not having done any updates in the last month of my travels. I am now home, safe and sound and in one piece and experiencing the culture shock of returning home. The final month of my South American adventure was jam packed with amazing sights, sounds, tastes and experiences. I learned what it is truly like to be living out of a backpack, jumping from one place to the next every other day ~ the packing and un-packing. Packing. Unpacking. ~ I don't know how people do it for months at [View Full Entry]
