Traveling is exhausting for me. 24 hours of travel time for me. Now 3 days later I am still tired, but I am not exhausted like I was two days ago.

So, I am in Brazil, Bahia. I like it. Bahia is the butt of a lot of jokes here, kind of like Alabama or Kentucky in the USA. I’ve been to Kentucky and I lived in Alabama for a time. I like them. But now I live in Texas. I like it a lot more. But I digress.
Brazil is very different from the USA. First and most obvious, they speak Portuguese. I can. I can understand better than I can speak.
The bathrooms here drive me nuts. I won’t say much besides I don’t like them. Not at all like the US. If you want to ask me sometime, send me a message. I will tell you.
I love the food here. It’s ripping my digestive system apart. Still I want to eat more and more.
We were out the other night and I wanted to refill my drink like in the US. It’s not the same here. You refill you pay again and the cups are a lot smaller.
We were visiting the city center. Handicap access is an afterthought, if it’s a thought at all. So many cobblestone streets, steps, Etc., the busses have the handicap symbols so maybe I will try them in a few days.
The biggest supermarket I have been to is nothing compared to what I’ve used in the US. Still there are things you would never find in the US and things you pay big bucks for.
The roads have horse drawn carts along with the cars. Not the cute romantic kind like some places I’ve been. Horses that draw carts for everything.
Motorcycles are everywhere. When we have used Uber. I get really nervous about how close all the people on the road get to one another. Still, I haven’t seen an accident yet and I hope I don’t.
This is a world of extremes. The US is very homogeneous, slight differences regionally.
I love it here. Sure, there are some things I don’t like but that’s life.
