Beach = Medicine

Early wake up thanks to Josh. He is more forward with his mornings, as he would leave the light on and make as much noise as he cared to. More asai for breakfast and then to the beach again. We headed down a different way, through the ritzy street in town. Once we got back to the umbrella tree I kept walking. I headed around the cove. The hill side of jungle shook the hand of a gorgeous white and red sediment. It looked like interlocking fingers, and I was very glad to have seen it. I didn't get into the water, but sat and paid attention to the waves for a while.

By the time I got back, it was about time to get back to the homestead to check out. I jumped in quick and we headed back to check out. We dropped our bags off at the station, and walked to the historic, old town of Porto Seguro. It was alright. Kind of a tourist trap set away from any homes. We made our way around it and headed back to the port at the other end of Porto Seguro. We had seen a sushi restaurant and were determined to head there for grub.

I didn't feel like getting sushi here because the bay smelled too much like old fish. Our meals were alright and too expensive. We hit up an internet stop before heading back to the bus stop. I was determined to talk with J on the phone, but there was no luck. I bought phone cards that didn't work there.

We were headed out on a night bus to Salvador on the coast of Bahia. On to the bus with a headache. This bus was much more comfortable. The first time I woke up on our trip my headache was gone and all was well. We were on our way to some of the best flavor in Brazil!
