Carnival in Salvador, we bought tickets to join the blocos "Balada". Basically what happens when you buy a ticket is you get a special shirt called a camarote which is your actual ticket, this shirt allows you to get inside the rope surrounding the band which is on top of a truck with huge speakers.

It seems like a long way away but in producti...

Flew out of Memphis, Tenn. into Chicago and then to Sao Paulo. The trip was a bit long but worth it. I went with some of the students from my university so we scheduled the trip through the university travel agency planning system, unfortunately, that was a bad idea considering that when we landed in Sao Paulo we had to go across the city to the other airport to catch the plane towards Salvador. We missed that plane because we didn't know. We paid $40 to get on another plane to Salvador which headed out in 3 hours. It was cool since we waited a little bit at the airport and the group went to e...
