Fortaleza

Wednesday, land ahoy.

We are in Fortaleza, Brazil today. We took a shuttle into town

this morning. Surprisingly it was not super hot. There was a cloud

cover and the temperature was only ~78 degrees. But the

humidity is so high, it is still very warm. This afternoon it is

over 84 which probably equates to over 90 humiture. We’ve

been warned it will probably get warmer as we continue to

Rio.

I left Foster waiting in the shade and walked to a nearby fort.

On the way back as I was waiting to cross the street, a lady

my camera dangle from my arm, but to hold it in my hand. I

had forgotten about being careful. That was a very nice gesture

Since we went out early crowds weren’t too bad. But our next

two stops are much larger cities with huge carnival celebrations.

I am glad we have already visited both of them since we may stay

on or near ship.

I am glad my blog isn’t being graded for grammar. I would go nuts

trying to make corrections.
