26/7

We set off from the hotel at 7:30 and made our way to the docks of Salvador. When I found out that we were taking boats to island a ways away, I got a little nervous. The last time I was on a boat was when I was in middle school in the San Fransisco bay, where I basically barfed my living guts out. It was quite a memorable experience. Anyway, this time was completely different for me! I didn’t throw up, I think because the waves were smaller and also because the boat was bigger. It was interesting to see that quite a few people lived on the island, and that a lot of the tourism business were family-owned by the locals. The best thing was just relaxing and I think that my opinion of going to the beach has changed because of this experience.
