Pelo
Ciao Amigos! Pelo is a small town in Salvador, Brazil. It is a tourist town mostly but there is music playing somewhere all the time and there are always Capoeira shows on the streets. There are so many things to see and there are always vendors hounding you to buy their merchandise. You can´t get iced coffee here unless you ask for Espresso Gelado then they will bring you something similar to an iced late. Pelo is rich with culture but like everything in Brazil it is expensive! OOOH but everything is so good. The food is good, the clothes, the merchant jewlery. I love it all. I am totally running out of money and time. I don´t want to go back to work and we only have two more days in Brazil. I choose the Bahia for a honeymoon spot since it is so romantic everywhere you go. The irony is that this used to be a town full of Masters and Slaves so there are slave spirits roaming the area and you can even see the Slave quarters vs the manor houses. Bahia is definitely poorer than Rio and you can see it in Cidade Barra where they tell tourists not to go! But I would definitely reccomend that people come to Bahia when they come to Brasil. I am working on getting more fotos uploaded so please be patient. Ciao for now.
