Lençois rock formations. |
Lençois, Brazil. |
The natural rock slides and pools in this area were very cool. The water has worn this conglomorate rock into a smooth polished surface. I couldn't believe this was natural. |

A swimming hole we stopped at during our hike. |
Most of the Semester at Sea hikers took a refreshing swim. |
We stopped at a little shack where a man was selling drinks and he had a hammock set up, so I took a break. |
A tight squeeze. |
Lunch and our destination for the day was at a large waterfall up the river. |
The longest natural water slide I've ever seen. We hiked up to the top and a local guide gave us a push to get us sliding down very fast. |
This swimming pool at our hotel is the coolest swimming pool I've ever seen. It was shaped like a river and then past the bridge it opened up into a normal pool. I thought it was cool to see the moon through the palm tree. |
We hiked up on top of this plateau called Morro do Pai Inácio. |
The top of the Morro do Pai Inácio plateau was very cool. I felt like I was under water because it looked a lot like the environment I've seen while scuba diving - the only thing missing was the water. |
Another shot of me on the Plateau. |

This shelf on top of the Morro do Pai Inácio plateau reminded me of a coral reef shelf. |
Our last lunch in Brazil. We went back to the Jardin restaurant where we went the first day with Rico for some more excellent food. |
A very happy Jason who just bought a fabulous painting. |
We stumbled upon this come to Jesus Evangelical revival and Chris saw a good photo op. |
