We drove through a deluge for 2 hours this morning and then it rained on and off. Naturally, the countryside was scenic. The potholes were terrible. Traffic was light. The little towns did not inspire us to stop. We were the last car on the 1:00 ferry to Salvador. It was a pleasant 30-minute voyage by sea with easy on, easy off. However, it took us 1-½ hours to cover 2.5KM to get from the harbor to the old part of town. In fact it took us ½ hr. w
hen we were within 4 blocks of the hotel. The one-way streets and narrow alley like roads made it hard to find the way. We are staying in a pleasant 17 room historical hotel. Dinner was delicious. Steve and I took a short walk around the old neighborhood that is being revived.
We are taking an academic 4 hr. tour of Salvador from the African Diaspora’s perspective rather than the European perspective. At 2:00 we meet with prospective agents for shipping the car to LA. We hope that we can get the job done in a couple of hours. If so, dinner will be a celebration and we will play golf the next day.
