Fortaleza's beach avenue by Kika

Well, I was there for work, but my hotel was near the beach so I could take a walk there in the end of the afternoons.

The beach avenue is great, wonderful, with so many things to do. My favorite place there was the “50 Sabores” icecream store. There you can find so many different ice cream flavours (50, to be exact). You can ask to try as many as you want before you actually buy your own. I was always curious about the local fruits and the strange combinations (such as açai and tapioca – called “paraense”).

Another place in the beach avenue is a market. I bought there some gifts (nuts and candies) to my mother and my boss (he asked to me 2 kilos of cashuws nuts from there).

The best views I could see from there was of the docks with its many wind usines. Well, the wind there is incredible stronge and necessary (for the really hot weather).

Well, I can wait the company send me again there next month and I can go with more time to take a lot of walk, try some local foods and spend a little more time at the beach after the work time.

The Recreo and the Mato Grosso! by emaehl

I lived in Fortaleza for a couple of years as a kid (1976-1978) while my father taught Geology at the local university.

We lived in a big house with two or three maids and an honest-to-god fountain in the front yard! We spent weekends at the country club (the Recreo) or the Beach, and during the week I ran wild in the streets with the local kids playing cops & robbers and setting fire to vacant lots.

I refused to wear a shirt or take a bath, so every once in a while the maids would corner me with a garden hose and scrub me down.
