Here are some pictures from Porto de Galinhas. I definitely had a kickass time there and would love to go back. Anyway, I'm not really going to write much because it's all mostly summed up in pictures and I explained in my Recife post how I got here. I went reef diving and went on a two-hour dune buggy tour of the more deserted beaches and reefs. The reef diving was only R$8 and the dune buggy thing was only R$20. If you can't figure out why I don't have pictures of the dune buggy tour you should probably be slapped.

On the jangada out to the reefs. A jangada is just a one-sail fishing raft; no need to freak out about me posting some Portuguese words.
Looking off the starboard (that means "right") side of the jangada.
No idea who that girl is but she was definitely Brazilian.
Off the front of the jangada. You can see the reefs and the other jangadas out in the distance.
Looking down at one of the small pools of water that collect on the reefs during low-tide.
One of the bigger pools of water that collect during low-tide. This one was about "3 meters" deep which in American means about 9 feet. Crazy moon measurements.
Yours truly swimming in this 3 meter deep pool. In this pool I saw some of the fish you will see in the next two pictures, and also some flounder and a few really dark maroon colored fish that mostly stayed in the reefs.
After the jangada man threw some bread in the water to get the fish surrounding me.
Closer up. Don't hate.
Fish swimming in those tiny collected reef-pools. Pretty sweet if ya ask me. Or even if you don't.
Some living coral. It moved it's little "mouth" and everything. Also pretty sweet.
Nice open shot of the reefs (which were already about 100 feet offshore) and the ocean that extends beyond them.
Artsy shot of some lame family showing their kid something nice before he realizes the hate and destruction that exists in this world.---
Okay folks that's it. I'm going to bed.
