For our last day in Brazil--our last port day of the journey!--we headed to a beach in Salvador near the old lighthouse.
The beach was gorgeous, the water and waves fantastic, and we all enjoyed swimming in the ocean. Beach vendors wandered by selling anything and everything, including the delicious shrimp pictured above. The men in the third and fourth photos above were selling cheese on sticks that they grilled to order. We loved the salty warm cheese!
Charis decided to go for one last henna tattoo: a Scorpio in honor of her sign, although to me it looks more like a gang symbol. Oh well, it will be gone soon. The boys loved being buried in the sand!
We ordered some chicken and fries for a mid-day snack.
We went up into the lighthouse museum and looked back at the beach where we had been.
We decided to make one last restaurant stop before heading back to the ship. It was nice to sit by the lovely Brazilian beach and feel the breeze in the open air restaurant.
A small outdoor market was the only thing opened near the ship. We spent our last Brazilian Real on a couple of trinkets.
I watched as the crew prepared the ship and the tugs escorted us away from the harbor.
Here is a video of Asher on the beach and one of the grilled cheese man who sings a particular tune and when he is finished, the cheese is grilled!
