Happy new year from bahia






Above is the city that is to be our home until march or so.. On the left is the Pacific Ocean and in the right is the estuary of the Chone river


On the right is me getting icecream on the side of the road while we wait for the airconditioner to be fixed on the bus. This location is nearly 24 hours into what was a 30 hour bus ride. We are just south of the Ecuadorean border.













This is a little open air place to get some good fish and soup for a great price. It is looking over the river and very close to the apartment.

Below is a huge X-mas dinner with all the fixens. We ate left overs for like three day after





























After dinner everyone from Planet drum dressed up and we did the nativity scene. I was one of the three kings as you can see from the pic below

























Here are some paper sculptures. They had these things up all over town on the days leading up to New years eve.


















And here is dinner for New years eve... some fresh fish from the market less than a block away..
we also had some grilled potatos, onions, and very ripe plantains.
























Mmmmmmm...!







Machete´s make for great grilling utensils









here I am buying a head for the character that we made to burn later on


















And here is Carlos. whom we will beat and burn to rid the new year of burden.

















Ashley beating Carlos!

















And Carlos along with all of the other paper figures being burned in the streets of Bahia.

















Happy New Years!












Breakfast new years day... Mimosas with Freash squeezed Oranges and all the rest to make for a great start to the first day of the year. we really enjoyed the holidays here in Bahia. we´ll be here for a few more months so we will have lots more to share.
