Savador-the old capital city of Brazil. Famous for food and Afro-Brazilian dancing and music.
The city itself is divided into two parts-the new and old. We are staying in the historic centre. It is very colourful, some of the buildings are falling down due to lack of repair-but it adds character to the place.
Last night we went to a world famous Afro-Brazilian Folk Law dance show. The group did slave dances, capeiora and knife fighting-in these amazing costumes-unfortunately couldnt take any pics-but the memories are good.Today we look around the rest of the city-lots of museums and churhces-one of which has pregnant, large breased angels in-which was the slave~s protest at having to build a church where they could not worship.
