Photos from Cachoeira

Yesterday we went to a rather obscure city out in the countryside - Cachoeira or in english Waterfall. There they have a yearly celebration of African roots and Roman Catholic traditions called "Festival da Irmadade da Boa Morte" or "Festival of the Sisterhood of Good Death."

In the middle of the square a large crowd gathered to watch drummers. The presentation was interupted with a sudden downpour of rain that left everyone taking cover from the rain in awkward places.

Walking up the hill to the the Hansen Bahia museum, we came across a bunch of kids flying kites or "Pipas."

We made some friends with some of the kids on the street.
