Vessels from many world ports are anchored offshore, - while smaller boats with local cargoes come and go like ‘schools’ of water beetles. “The traveler's first impression of Bahia, as he sails up the harbor toward the city, is that there are really two separate towns, e ¢ b s - “A congested se ment ugs shoreline, while on a cliff in the back- ound, 200 feet above the roof tops, the ringe of another settlement is visible, Most of Bahia’s Cocon Comes to U.

Most of Bahia’s cocoa, the largest ex- portable product of Bahia state, is shipped to the United States. “Upper Bahia is reached by elevators, steps and winding roads. Here and there in the narrow streets of this por- tion of the city, sky blue and delicate ylnk houses, some of whose plastered ronts are deeply pock-marked, take the traveler back & century or two in Bahia’s history.
