a little of my trip to Salvador, Bahia. 5 weeks of intensive portuguese language classes, some beautiful sights, and some new friends. Summer 2001 |

You can sort of see the double levels that the city of Salvador is built on from this picture. Taken from the speedboat that took us to Morro de Sao Paulo. |

I'm sure I saw this building in a movie my first portuguese teacher showed us in my class at UC Irvine, long before I came on this trip. We passed it while on a walking tour of Pelourinho, an old & historic part of the city. |

View from a bus leaving the little town of Cachoeira. This another one of our class 'field trips' one weekend (that is, if you don't consider the whole 5 week course one big field trip...) |

Tropical island in the bay of Salvador. Our classes spent a weekend here, just for fun. This pic taken from the boat as we're leaving... |

An experiment in new foods: preparing Arab� (the "sister" of Acaraj�) |
|
|
|
|
|
Cooking Acaraj� in dend� oil (I'm sure it's full of fat, but it tastes pretty good.) |

Eu (Me) e Ziggy, our dance class instructor. The dance class was part of the "culture" section of the intensive language course. (But it was also for fun.... we met once a week in the ACBEU library). |
