Fortaleza for real

So in the middle of Fortaleza (the city), there's a fort, also called Fortaleza. We weren't sure where it was, and as we were walking around trying to find it, Vanessa asked some guy where it was, and he was like, “You're IN Fortaleza!” I got the feeling he was annoyed at us for being dumb tourists, but I thought it was funny he didn't even realize we were looking for a famous fort. Whatever.

We stopped at this beautiful cathedral (I think it's the second biggest in Brazil, but don't quote me on that...but it's definitely in the top 5).

My favorite part was just walking along the beach, though. I know I still have a long time here in Brazil, but I am going to miss beaches so much. They're so peaceful, and I love watching the waves. I don't think I will ever get tired of the ocean.

Me and Vanessa, so much better after a night of sleep in a real bed! :)
