stop over in Fortaleza

9am to 6pm stopover in Fortaleza: in order to meet time restrictions for future cities and towns to see, we decided to just skip this city....unfortunate. Brazil is a beautiful and massive country with too much to see. you would need about 6 months to do Brazil thoroughly.

we walked around Centro (downtown) after leaving our backpacks with the luggage lock up place.  looked at numerous markets and malls/merchants. found a great "Mercado Mall" with many beautiful salesladies and a cheap and pretty decent kilo restaurant on the 2nd floor.

breakfast we had fruit salad with this sweet condensed milk (tasted more like a dessert")  Brazilians don't have the healthiest of diets.  also had a "vitamina" which is just a milkshake made with your choice of fruit. --> 5 reais. approx $3 Cdn.

later we grabbed $1 reais beers from the supermarket and breadsticks and sat and drank on the street across from the Rodoviaria (portuguese for bus station)  talking about university and stupid stories. and watching ppl.

then before the 6Ç30pm bus, we quickly inhaled Acai and a chicken burger from the cafe down the street.
