Porque o samba nasceu lá na Bahia
E se hoje ele é branco na poesia,
Ele é negro demais no coração.
* Because samba was born in Bahia
And if today it is white in its poetry,
It´s definitely black in its heart.

amazingly all 3 sections look way too similar, but all different, those windows for instance.

Hello Uno! Yes, I definitely fell in love with all of it. What a state, we went to so many places (we travelled from Salvador to Vitória, hitchhike and bus, stopping wherever we felt like) and yet there are so many places we didn´t go. And a very familiar Mozambican-like spirit, didn´t you think?

Yes, it does have a more mozambican feel to it than all the other brazilian cities I went to, it's not only the delapidated buildings and the climate, it's also a certain relaxed way of living, a friendly and open relationship with strangers that is difficult to find. Lovely architecture and cultural life too, a lot of great people came from there.
Did you go to the Solar do unhao by the sea? It was an intervention to a historical building by one of my favorite architects: Lina Bo Bardi (she also designed the Sao Paulo Art Museum, magnificent).
I liked the pelourinho but it's such a touristic attraction that it doesn't really make you feel you're totally in Salvador, it feels a bit like a theme park... I enjoyed exploring the rest of the city more. I went there in a very serious architecture expedition, I would like to go back in a less objective mood.
