Brazil has two seas: One a pastel blue with layers of
sapphire and turquoise. The other a kaleidoscope of green. We bussed about two
hours into the interior today to the recôncave,
a verdant region surrounding Bahia de Todos os Santos, Brazil’s biggest bay. We
first stopped in Cachoiera, an 18th century colonial town known for
tobacco and dendê (palm oil)
production as well as a city that fought for Brazilian independence. Then, we
went above the town to Fazenda Santa
Cruz, a self-sustaining farm, restaurant, and place for reprieve. What a view! Mangos dripping from
trees, bananas solid and green, and a vista stretching to the horizon. My
favorite excursion so far!
