Brazilian culture, especially Bahia, is incredible. There is an appreciation for nature, music, food and all things amazing that WE (not so grood) Americans will NEVER understand!

I climbed up to the top of a giant beach cliff to watch the por do sol (sunset) with a bunch of people. I ate the single best ice cream of my life on the climb up there which unfortunately was SO good that I missed the giant pile of dog poopy in my path and squished it between my sandled toes....so GOOD I ignored the squishy dog poop between my toes to finish the last bites of the goodness and than internalized the horror of the napkinless situation. Once that situation was solved we settled down with about 20 other people, watched the most amazing sunset ever and at the end clapped and thanked the sun for such a beautiful masterpiece. It was the single most united moment I have ever felt,....and my toes were clean.
