Day 3 – Sun 27 Aug: Salvador

The Opening Ceremony started at 2pm at a venue that was a quite a drive away from the main conference venue (Pestana Hotel) so buses were employed to convey us to the destination. As usual, the MEPS Meet and Greet was held after the opening ceremony at another hotel on another side of town, was only a taxi ride away, and it was a most salubrious location, albeit at night.

This was where a new drink was discovered by a number of the members - a Caipirinha, made with limes, sugar, ice and cane spirit (white rum); you can add soda water if you want it a little less sweet. A very nice drink in low doses.
