One Journal Entry

We're supposed to go to the beach today but it's raining cats and dogs. Normally that would keep us here in the hotel, but this tour is already paid for. There is water on the floor in the hall and dripping from the ceiling there but thankfully our room is still dry so far. Two taxis have arrived to pick up people since I started looking out the window and writing these words, but no sign so far of our tour van. It's overdue. Yesterday we were told by our tour guide that this bay is the second-largest in the world. There is now a rain river coming under the highway in front of the hotel. Yesterday there was continuous beach. Now the sand has been washed away four feet deep and thirty feet wide, and an angry brown river is churning into the ocean. Will this rain never stop? Gotta go. Our tour bus just arrived. Salvador, Bahia, Brazil Thursday,09 April 2015
