Today we had the opportunity to visit the city and see a lot of sites and get to know Fortaleza a little bit. There was a lot to see today, and we started off by going to this long dock and seeing dolphins! It was seriously the best start to the day! Then we went and saw this huge Catholic church that was gigantic. It was very old and the outside looked pretty bad, but when you go inside it it newly renovated and beautiful! It had amazing vaulted ceilings that stained glass everywhere. We then proceeded to the Central Market where they have five levels of shops where you can buy anything related to the culture of Brasil, and more. Cindy and I have seriously redone our apartment with different things from Brasil, it'll be fun to see everything put together. We then went to a museum that was massive with three levels, and walked around for a while. It was fun to see the art and different styles of expression. They had these rugs made from individual pieces of cloth that would have taken a looong time to do. It was pretty cool to see.
Today was an awesome way to start our short trip to Fortaleza. What I enjoyed most was seeing people walking down this huge sidewalk in their families. It just showed how safe of an area it is and how people actually enjoy doing stuff as families. I like that about Brasil.
