Salvador Bahia We stayed at a beautifully restored Posada in Salvador.
Our room had a shaded rooftop balcony with a hammock. |

The highlight of Salvador carnaval for me was when group of woman in their 60's, forced me to change into one of their group t-shirts, making me an honorary member of their group. Next I was dragged into the square and forced to dance and parade with them around the square. I was warned many times about the dangers of Brazil but this is not what I expected. |

The Pelourino(square) was dressed up for carnaval |

| Meeting
these ladies was a highlight of the trip.    They gave me a t-shirt and insisted that I join their group for a parade around the Pelourino. |

Baianas, dressed in white, sell food on the street.
|
There
is no amplified music allowed in the Pelourino. The crowd includes families and kids in costume.
