The Taylors: Brazil- Part 3... Final

Well yesterday I came down with that cold that's going around. I was in the middle of writing this post and completely passed out. Maybe due to the fact that I took that ZzzQuil and let me tell you how well that works.

I was our for 10 hours. Even though I slept that much I didn't kick this cold so another day in bed. Lucky me right?

Back to Brazil... This is the last post I promise. This trip was amazing and I'm so glad we were able to experience it.

It made me more grateful for the country I live in. We have so many luxuries available to us that we take for granted or that we don't know are luxuries.

DAY 6:

We were at see all day. And that was boring. Basically lots of eating and laying around watching movies in the room.

We loved having a balcony. So nice to get fresh air.

DAY 7:

Salvador

Salvador is the oldest city in Brazil and man did it look old. But had so much history around every corner. We took another private tour and literally went from one side of the city to the other and finished in the most perfect area.

You would drive down the street and all of a sudden there were colorful buildings in a row.

The International library for Leonardo da Vinci.

The inside the church.

The ceiling.

They have this tradition where you buy these ribbons and tie them to the church fence and even inside the church and make 3 knots with 3 different wishes.

Salvador's fort to protect the city.

Wouldn't you love to go to church here? Right on the water.

This boy is such a trooper taking all these pictures.

First capitol

They have an elevator that takes you from "old" Salvador to "new" Salvador. We opted out to taking the elevator because its over 100 years old and we didn't want to take our chances. Nonetheless it was cool.

Every single ally looked like this.

This statue was put there in place of a church they demolished. The fallen cross.

The square at Pelourinho. It reminded me of Venice without the water canals. every road was cobblestone and so narrow.

Color everywhere.

Just in a 2 mile radius there were 4 churches. How many churches do you need.

This church was actually covered up and found accidently by a construction worker and then uncovered. It is hard to believe that anyone would want to hid it.

As the sun was setting, you would look down the allies and look at the sky and it would look like the shops at the Venetian. If you have ever been there and looked up it looks gorgeous and literally that is was it looked like here.

My absolute favorite picture of him.

DAY 8:

Ilheus Islands

This was an amazing beach. White sand beaches. The sand felt like velvet in between your toes. You could walk out 50 yards and only be in water as deep as your knees.
