Dear 2nd Grade Children,
I had an amazing time in
Salvador de Bahia which is
known as the capital of“
happiness . They have the”
largest Carnaval in the world.“ ”
I saw a match at Fonte Nova
Stadium. Then I went to see
the incredible Lacerda Elevator.
In 20 seconds, it takes you from
Praca Tome de Souza in Cidade
Alta (the Upper City ) to the
Praca Cairu in Cidade Baixa
(the Lower City ). You travel
more than 70 meters in one of
the tallest public elevators in
the world. It was really fun.
Love, Red
3. Salvador is a city with a wealth of cultural and
architectural heritage. One of the most
outstanding attractions in this historically rich
city is the Elevador Lacerda, the first public
elevator in the world. It’s a real magnet for
visitors, who admire its beauty, and an important
asset to the city’s inhabitants for its functionality.
There is a breathtaking view from the top of its
towers of the city’s other tourist attractions, with
the spectacular view of Baía de Todos os Santos
(All Saints Bay) as a backdrop.
This imposing monument is also a shortcut that
connects the historical lower city on the seafront
to the modern, expanding upper city. All those
who are transported by the elevator, whether
tourists or locals, breathe life into the city’s
economy and fill the city with a passion for
football.
The poster shows a ball crossing the goal line and
hitting the net, which is the final and most
important goal of a football match. This could be
in the stadium, with proper goalposts, or on any
small football field, on the beach, or even in the
streets, with imaginary goalposts made out of
stones or shoes. It could be with a penalty kick, a
bicycle kick, or even a scissors kick, but for a
football match to be complete it needs to have a
goal, and that’s how this poster turned out: it has
history, it has beauty and it has a GOAL!
