Sorry I haven´t updated in a while...I´haven´t been near a decent working computer. The past week I´ve just been chilling with these cool people I´ve met at my hostel...went to the beach, went all around the city and just relaxed. This weekend I went to this island two hours off the coast of Salvador called Morro de São Paulo with Em and some guys from her program. Picture and words seriously cannot explain how incredible it was...the only way to describe it is to see it for yourself. It was true paradise and probably the best birthday weekend I´ve ever had (except that I didn´t have my family and friends with me). Saturday (my big 2-1) was the best...we took a boat out all day and saw this sweet sand bar in the middle of the ocean (you can see both the tides coming in and hitting each other from opposite sides), got all dirty in this natural mud on the side of a cliff (you put it all over yourself then rinse it off and it makes your skin so soft), then we took this amazing hike up this mountain and saw the whole island from above (so beautiful, miles of tropical forest). It was pretty incredible and I felt so lucky to see everything that I saw. The parties on the island don´t get good until like 1am so we headed over at like 2am and it was really fun. I drank legally for the first time!! (Well, it doesn´t matter here, but if I were in the US it would have been legal). Definitely drank too much though and was not having fun this morning. We had to take a two hour boat ride and I was not excited. The way there we went on this nice catamaran which wasn´t bad but the way back we took this little speed boat thing...everyone around me was throwing up and I was close to joining them. Longest two hours of my life.
I am completely in love with it here and I don´t want to leave!! I´m going to Rio tomorrow... can´t wait. It´s going to be so weird being back in the US...I do miss it (but only sometimes when I´m feeling lonely) and will be happy to see everyone, but I want to stay here forever and travel around Brazil. Oh and it will be nice to not have to deal with people hounding me for money and to buy things...and although Brazilian boys are so cute, most of them are serious creepers. This kid from Rio that I met at my hostel was definitely creeper status last week. He actually speaks pretty good English, but his best line was that my eyes hypnotize him and that everytime he looks into them he thanks God. Haha...definitely laughed inside when I heard that, any guy that says that kinda stuff after knowing me for three days is not going to get very far...that totally turns me off.
I´m going to try and figure out how to post pictures becasue I have so many!! And a little side note...I am covered in mosquito bites...they are everywhere and annoying as hell...I am so thankful that I live in a desert and when I get home I don´t have to deal with that...they seriously love my blood or something.
Beijos e abraçoes...tchau!
