Boa Noite

I have made it save and sound. The above picture is a view from my balcony, where I eat breakfast in Salvador Bahia Brazil. The ocean is a about a 10 minute walk from here and it is down hill. I also was able to get the Internet as you can see. But I have been very busy doing things that came up. For example when I arrived not only did I not have the Internet but I was not able to plug in my computer to the wall so I had to find an adopter for the plug and that took several days, but once I found everything was good and I could recharge my laptop, and plug the rest of my things in such as my clock radio.
But some of the official things I had to do was to get my enlistment out of the way. Here in Brazil you have to go one of the forts around the city and pledge to the flag, every male has to do it, without doing it you are not able to get a CPF. Without a CPF you cannot get a job, or for that matter a phone, or many other things that are needed. But today I have finally finished with all that.
I am waken up by a rooster everyday. There are no farms around here so I think the rooster is wild and rooming the streets, that is no so off their are random chickens running around that and wild pack of dogs, the dogs don’t bite they just live on the street and eat up whatever is their. Something else I found is that there is nudity in the newspaper, not just breast but full body as well, it was in the cultural section of the paper the other day, the article was about a photographer in Europe who just showed some work of the female body. Also prostitution is legal here in all of Brazil but in the newspaper in the classified section their are prostitutes adds that you can read, and if your like me get a laugh at, the words they use and the way they advertise is funny, specs.
The city of Salvador is beautiful and I really have been enjoying walking around. I have hit the beach up a few days in the morning and plan on going more often, I just have been running around everywhere getting this stuff out of the way. But now I will enjoy the sun and fun of the winter in Salvador. Yes it is winter now and it has rained every day since i have been here but it is like this, it will rain really hard for about five minutes then stop.
