Walking Dog's

People in Brazil love their dogs they take them everywhere to the beach and on long walks down busy streets. For as much as Brazilian, love dogs it can be a long and tedious process to get them in the country. More paperwork of unknown origin, meaning no one knows whats going on and a process that should take about 20 minute can take up to five and six hours. And one really know why. They just keep saying one form to fill out and you'll be done in ten minutes, as the hours click bye.

Plantation

Salvador Bahia

This looks like an old Plantation but it's not. Actually, I don't believe the building is that old it just looks that way in the setting it's in.

Typical Dress

Deuza

This young lady pictured here is wearing the Traditional Bahian dress. The typical Bahian dress is white, lacy top with huge, bouncy skirt.
Many women dressed in these white Bahian dresses can be seen all over the city of Salvador, especially on the streets selling all kinds of goods.

 

Biblioteca Publica

Listening to Music @ the library

This young boy about twelve, was hanging out listening to music at the ("Biblioteca Publica") Public Library in Salvador Bahia. It is said to be the First Library in all of Latin America. I thought it was interesting that young Brazilian boy was listening to 70's Rock Music.

Lighthouse Salvador Bahia





Know as the "Farol da Barra Salvador Bahia" this Fort/lighthouse was built in the early 1500. It is still a working lighthouse as it light can be seen all over the city of Salvador at night.




Salvador Bahia



Fishing Boats along the coastline.

 Salvador Bahia, city by the bay. The first time I've seen rain since being in Brazil. The local fisherman actually use those small boats to go out fishing in. Usually two or three men will be in one boat and they'll pull another one being them where they'll put there catch of the day. Either that or in case one sinks they still have another boat.
