Hahahahahahaha! Waiting for the bus Mitch, Matt and I found this man putting cans on the street for the cars to crush them. So funny! There was two police guys and instead of doing something they just said Hi and gave him two soda cans! hahaha. Then he saw the bus coming and got all excited and put the cans in front of the bus wheel. Finally, he took his bag of cans and left :P. People in Salvador are so chill and relax, they just make the best of their day. People say Salvador is dangerous, but I never felt scared or threatened at all. However, I never seen more people in my life trying to sell anything you could sell!.
That is a huge elevator you need to take to go downtown where you wanna go if you go to Salvador. Why you have to take it? downtown is where the port is and where they use to bring the slaves. The Portuguese wanted to have a better view of what was going on so they were mainly in the top watching those that were down :).
These are a few pictures from downtown isn't beautiful? I loved it it was by far my favorite day! All streets were little and you kind of felt in Europe, but with a strong African influence. There was a lot of churches to see and music everywhere :). Where you shop when you are in Salvador you go to the Mercado Modelo. The Mercado Modelo was the place they would put the slave until they were sold. When we went from the first floor to the last floor is a lot of little stores, but the basement is still like it was many years ago when slaves where there. However, it was closed, but in the basement the use to put the rebellious slaves to punish them.
