I think every traveler hits a moment when they miss home.
Like right now I’m craving Mexican food (not a tortilla to be found here!),
longing for a hot shower in today’s cooler weather, I miss my trail runs with
friends (Laura, Mel, Katie, Sky – talking to you!), and above all I wish I
could hang out with my heart, my home, Zak. But, I only have two weeks left in
Salvador and I am making the most of it. It never really stopped raining Saturday
night, but we went out to celebrate São João despite the drizzle. Totally worth
it! We kicked it off with street food (it’s good stuff here!)—chicken kebabs, queijo quente (fresh cheese sprinkled
with oregano, browned over hot coals, and served with molasses), and acarajé all accompanied by cravinhos, clove-infused cachaça and capirinhas. Of course, after these indulgences we had to dance it
off, not hard to do in Brazil! The Pelourinho area had numerous stages with
live bands, and we found some great forro
music and danced into the night. These are times I’m going to miss when I’m
back in Austin! Pictured below: Helena, Ellie, and myself (my friend Asal is taking
the picture!).
