Things are happening quicker than I can actually write about them in detail. Here´s just a few quick things. I´ll try to write about other things later that I want to spend more time on like visiting the favela which was amazing.
I saw a penguin yesterday and a failed penguin rescue attempt. It was really cool to see until I realized how sad it is that they need to come to Brazil and how bad they´re doing.

We played Brazilians vs Americans in soccer and then in basketball. Some things have very predictable results...
On Brazilian beaches you can get cooked cheese on a stick with spices on it. I think the moment I discovered this was the best moment of my life.
We went to a yacht club that Gabby (one of the Brazilian girls) is a member of yesterday. I can officially confirm that when people say the rich in Brazil are really rich they are describing things accurately.
Professor Genaulto (no clue on spelling) is the Professor hosting as at UFBA and he put together a little show for us on Friday. It started with an amazing capoeira performance by one of the best groups in Salvador (go to youtube if you don´t know what capoeira is, its hard to explain without seeing it. We all got to try and play with them to mixed results, my roommate Eli said me trying to do capoeira was the highlight of his trip.
After the capoeira there was a dance troupe that was actually just these guys who play dominoes in front of our school. It ended up basically being the most sexual dance of all time for half an hour and no one knew what to do. We´re pretty sure Genaulto was playing a joke on everyone by getting them there but no ones quite sure what to make of it.
Anyone I´ll try and update more soon. Email me!
