Wednesday MJ and I headed to Barra Grande, on a peninsula south of Salvador. It was a looong, hot trip there. First a 45 minute bus ride, quick taxi ride, catamaran to the island, 3 hour bus ride to Camumu, followed by a half hour speed boat trip to finally reach Barra Grande.
These pictures are only slightly out of order...

Staying at the Pousada Iglu (igloo). It had a place to sleep and a bathroom, and for R$30 you can't beat that:

So, I have no idea what this thing is, perhaps a Brazilian would like to explain for me. The street was lined with stuffed effigies of...i'm not sure what exactly. I was told they get set on fire later? Whatever they are, they're really creepy when you're walking along the street in pitch black darkness:
