Brazil Trip - Day 6 (Evening)

The afternoon was cut a little short so we only did one session of sports. We ran basketball and volleyball simultaneously. Melissa did a great job with volleyball and Jake and Jake did well with basketball. They had the kids doing layup drills and other b-ball skills. I think the dunking contest is today. ;)

In the evening we went into Fortaleza to the market. There was a huge section next to the beach that was set up with all kinds of little shops of souvenirs, hammocks, shoes, clothes. We spent about 2 1/2 hours there walking around and bartering.

After shopping we ate at a restaurant called Sal E Brasa. It was extremely good food and AIR CONDITIONED! We tried all kinds of meats and other various foods: fried bananas, fried cheese, sushi, shrimp, other cheeses, etc. Some of the meats we tried were wild boar, ostrich and a variety of other cuts of beef, chicken, etc. There was a variety of pies and cakes to choose from for dessert. Definitely a meal we'll remember.

We arrived back on campus around 11:00.
