26/07/2012 - Islands in Bahia

Today we went to the bay in Bahia called the Bay of All of Saints.  There we took a boat ride to some of the islands that are near Salvador.  We went to a beach on Ítaparica and swam with some jellyfish and then played volleyball on the beach.  The water was crystal clear and you could see the bottom even when you couldn't touch it without diving under the water.  After that we went to another part of the island for lunch and then took a tour of the town.  We weren't able to go inside of practically anything.  But we saw the outside of a fort that was built in 1711 on the ruins of the first fort that was built in the 1640s.
