Last night in Salvador I went for the Balé Folcloric de Bahia spectacle. It was a ballet about candomblé, capoeira, a fire dance, how farmers used to train to fight while farming and the flirting through samba.

The real Candomblé that I saw was much more intense and so had a much greater impact on me. Here, I had no questions, it was a show, and the performers were dancing to entertain us.

The whole ballet was beautiful. The music was out of this world. Africans are beautiful.

This morning I bid farewell to Bahia.
