Sao Joao

Every June, Bahia celebrates Sao Joao. It is a holiday that gives everyone in the city an excuse to fire off firecrackers, play loud country style music and stay up till late in the night. This year we were invited to a party outside of the city with Taisa and Fernando. Everyone dresses up in cowboy type clothing, this dress Ceara is wearing was one of the traditional girls dresses. We got to try all types of country dishes and throw firecrackers, watch Taisa and Fernando dance the forro (a square dancing type dance) and visit with some other friends. Another great time to spend with our friends and to see a bit of real Bahian culture.
