Reggae club in Salvador


After lounging on the beach all day in Salvador, we decided it was time to explore the nightlife of the city..... I looked in my Frommers Brazil travel book for ideas, and guess what I came accross?! A brazilian reggae live music club! Marlana and I agreed this would be awesome to check out. Soooo we catch a taxi to Pelourinho ( the historic downtown area). It was very obvious that we were foreigners and most passerbys let us know this without hesitation. We stuck out like crazy. Anyways, we find the reggae club and its so cool ! We dont have the guts to go in and dance like we would in ATX, but as we are watching from outside we have a fan! An old like 70 yr old man grooving and dancing to the beat of world reggae begins beckoning for us to join in. We decide this probably isnt the best idea.........obvious foreigners.

Anyways, we decided it might be a good idea to find a taxi back to the Che Lagarto Hostel. As we are walking through Pelhourino, we see 3 or 4 men with taxis and they all look like they´re on something...... We try to find a different area for taxis but the same thing happens 10 minutes later. So we choose the least shady looking man. He ends up being creepy and flirty but we get back safe! yay!

LOVE,
Cora
