Day 5 – Tue 29 Aug: Salvador

Attended a few sessions again in morning but spent the afternoon shopping for gifts to take home. The shopping trip took us to the Mercado Modelo (local market) which held some interesting artifacts.

That evening, I attended the American Reception with Jane, Régis and David Cecillon (Canadian) that was held at the Salvador Yacht Club and was even more salubrious than the MEPS Meet and Greet location. At the end of the night when it was time to go home, Regis and David decided that

because their hotel was only a five-minute walk away, they would just walk home. So, without even a “ladies, will you be alright until the next bus arrives?”, off they went!!! So, Jane and Wendy were left on their own. Fortunately, not long after they left, a man that Jane knew quite well offered us a ride in his taxi as he was going to the same hotel as Jane was staying in.
