I arrived in Salvador, Brazil yesterday at about 3 pm after a long but fairly pleasant trip. I was met at the airport by one of the drivers with the organization I am volunteering with (Cross Cultural Solutions). I tried some of my Portuguese on him, but I don't quite have my pronounciation mastered, so AG (I think that's his name) didn't understand one word. We waited for a bit for Nicole (another volunteer) to arrive, then he brought us to our "Home Base" where we were shown around and to our rooms, and we met all the other volunteers who had arrived.
We were all so tired that we just sat around talking and getting to know each other. They are all so nice! And so far all American and with the exception of one person, they are all in their early 20's.
After dinner we all walked to a local bar and had a "Brahma" which is the main beer and it was good.
We came back early and all had a much needed sleep.
