First days in Brazil

We are officially in Brazil - Salvador - and spent the last few days in the area Pelorinho, the historic district in the Pousada Redfiish, a restored 17th century (large) house. It is very warm - in the high 80's but slightly cooler at night. Once I figure out how to transfer photos I'll forward some lovely ones. Last night we went to the Ballet Folklorico de Bahia and saw some authentic dancing and the stylized "fight/dance" the capoeira. The food has been excellent and we're trying out everything on the menu we don't undertand so we'll learn what that means. Good choices so far. see
Today we transferred to the center - a spartan circumstance in a newer and much busier part of town. Staff seems most pleasant and we've met a couple of the people, so we shall see.
