Brazil 2008: Salvador

Shortly after arriving in Brazil, I traveled North to Salvador, where I stayed for a week with a new friend, Moni. Moni and her friends are the best tour-guides a foreigner could ask for (um beijo por tudos meos amigos in salvador!). Despite language barriers, we had many adventures together: we visited beautiful beaches, toured the old city, listened to music, ate good food, and danced the samba and forro' late into the night. While in Salvador I mostly made pen and pencil studies in my sketchbook, I did get a good watercolor session in at a local beach.
