Me on the coconut phone - Salvador

Hello, thanks group for the information and assistance. Was wondering how to make inexpensive phone calls from Salvador to the states. Is it best to get pre-paid calling cards before travel or purchase them there. Thanks.
If you can find a Brazilian store in Atlanta, the phone card brands Voz Do Brazil, Saudades and Carnaval have numbers to use to cal the U.S. from BRazil.
There are also a couple of places in Porto da Barra, along Av. 7, that advertise calling.
And there are internet cafes from which to use Skype.
The bahia (bay) is always present... This picture was taken from cidade alta (high city) and shows a part of the bay, the monument to Bahian woman and on the left side, the Lacerda Elevator.

La foto fue sacada desde la "cidade alta" (ciudad alta) y muestra parte de la bahía, el monumento a la mujer bahiana y a la izquierda, el Elevador Lacerda.
This years the Carnival was enormous, millions of people dancing days and night so the Municipality of Salvador are thinking to create a 4th circuits for the Blocos.......Carnival is for all, but Salvador Canival became evry years bigger and bigger.
Missing the elevator, I found myself in a less touristy area, where the people are less pushy. The streets are filled with vendors, and you can see how the people live.
Brasil is very warm for a man from Alaska, and I found this shady fountain (picture 2) to sit and relax by. I was not alone for very long as a woman came over and started talking to me. I did not understand a word, but she delighted in having someone to talk to.
Only few minutes by car from Pelourinho operates this warehouse show house. Starting off around 8pm until 1.00pm depending on the night. Very basic but that is Bahia! Better to go with some local guide. Anyway there is security at the door and inside. Make an agreement with some taxi driver in order to collect you at the door when you are ready to leave.
Most of the music is pagode (the real heart of the ghetto), sometimes reggae, hip hop and very seldom electronic. Age 16-20. Dress a bit down.
On the Porto Da Barra Beach, you will find her baraca underneath a forest of umbrellas.
In there Benta is cooking her delicious fishes on her little burner every day. She buys the fish from the fishermen when they come in, and serves them immediately for her hungry costumers, who will be waiting while drinking a beer in the baraca.
The place is a very popular spot for local Salvadorians, who always gather there because of the friendly and fast service.
To keep her costumers comfortable she and the girls helping her, will see that you dont melt, by occationally cooling the sand and everybodys feet with seawater. Corvinha, Peixe Vermelho and Sardinhas, fried Na hora, served with Salada, Farofa, and Molho De Pimenta á la Benta! With that some nice cold beers!
Condensed pleasure!!
