Dear Moms, one thing there is no need to worry about is us getting good food -- we have been fed very well in Bahia, both in restaurants and by our new friends. This was one of the better dishes at a favorite spot of ours: salmon with shrimp in a passionfruit sauce. Passionfruit is big here and we aren't complaining!! Muito delisia!!
On our research boat...in the front you can see the captain and Rebecca...looking at the beach of Praia do Forte.
Rebecca and Leo ready to see many baleias!!
Finally...proof we have actually seen whales!! In the middle of the all-important fluke-up dive. Photo courtesy of Hannah Dalke.
The picture is blurry, but it is the best to show how close we come to the amazing animals.
Barata diving with the whales in the crystal clear water. Jealous...
Neto and Rebecca cooking us the traditional Bahian meal, Mocqueca, at the interns' apartment - this time with shrimp.
Of course, I found the kids... they were showing me which plants/vegetables are theirs in the garden at the institute.
Arlete teaching us about compost.
We stopped by an apartment before Souza on Saturday where Hannah helped to knead the dough for these little okra (not jalapeños, Hannah :) ) and tomato pizzas.

Perfect time for a picture ID during a fluke up dive.
The blows from a group of whales...this is how we spot them in the ocean.
Standard Saturday night at Souza!!!!
Again...we are getting plenty to eat. :)
Us with Luciana...our mom, boss and new best friend!!!
Hannah and Arlete!!!! So bella!!
Just the other day I was thinking to myself, "I wonder if Hannah and Danielle are going to learn about compost while in Brazil?" A program after my own heart! Salmon 'n' Shrimp look amazing!!!
