I had to wake up fairly early on Saturday morning to get my second anti-rabies vaccination. The clinic was only open from 7am to 11am. After being bitten by a cat earlier in the week, I had to get the shots on the exact dates the nurse gave me otherwise they would be useless. As I was waiting f…

Graffiti Art in Brazil is amazing!!! During my stay in Salvador I was pleased to learn that the citizens of Brazil are more accepting of graffiti artists and their work..

I have been in Salvador, Bahia • Brazil for a little over a month now. It has taken a while to overcome the shock I felt when I first arrived. Salvador is a very large city on the coast of the northeast state of Bahia. It is the third largest city in Brazil, with a population of near 3 million. B…

my trip to Brasil

KERRY - So our first thoughts of Salvador were that it was a little bit dingy and scary looking after arriving from Belo Horizonte on a bus journey of 24 hrs! We arrived at our hostel which looked a lot nicer on the website than in reality! The room was very simple, clean, but pretty dingy and you …

I am re…

I know this is not exactly traveling pictures, but I just adore animals of all kinds...
