Music and Dancing

So last night we went to the street party in the old city. People were playing instruments, singing and dancing. It was fun, we ate traditional food, which was a combination of meats and salads, and had delicious caipirinhas. We then went to some bars in the neighborhood with a couple of people we met at the hostal. It was overall a good night!
Today, Alex and I took a bus again to the old city to actually sight see. It was another incredibly hot day. We walked around and saw the old colonial buildings and took an elevator that connects the lower city to the top city, where we were at. Down in the lower city, Alex got her hair half braided and I got a braid done at the back of my neck. The ladies that did our hair were so funny! They would speak to us in portuguese and dance, and we had no idea what they were saying! We would just laugh when they would laugh, and it was all good! We then sat down at the market and had some water while we watched people perform capoiera. After walking a ton and trying to tolerate this heat, Alex and I finally made it to the hostal. We both fell asleep from exhaustion. Now we are about to get ready to go out to a bar that plays good music on Wednesday nights. Luckily it is right around the corner from the hostel.
