Arraial d'Ajuda

Getting of the ferry at Arrail d'Ajuda

This sums up how my day went

Fried Aimpim

Church of Senhor do BomFim in Arraiail d'Ajuda
(same concept as the one in Salvador - you make a wish and attach the ribbon to the gate)

My second day in Porto Seguro I decided to take a day trip to the nearby town of Arrail d'Ajuda - a tiny touristy town with nice beaches, and, once again, too many souvenir shops to choose from. The atmosphere of the area was a bit resort like, with helicopters landing to drop off famous celebrities and paragliders flying over head - so I decided to pull up a chair, order some 'aimpim frito' (Fried Aimpim - Mandioc Root - A bit like Fried potatoes except much more delicious) and relax.
