One of the Worldś Most Beautiful Beaches

Before arriving in Jericoacoara we heard that it is considered one of the worldś most beautiful beaches, which peaked our interest even further. We arrived to Jeri via a bus which took us to a trolley-like thing, because the bus could no longer drive through the ridiculous terrain. We drove for an hour or two along gorgeous beach that oddly enough featured cows and donkeys. Finally we got to Jeri. It is a beautiful beach town placed on a national natural reserve. That means that there were no real streets, hardly any cars, zero pollution, and tons of animals and such. We checked into a hostel that Ayal picked. Though it was nice, I had my eye on somethin' else. We went to the beach the next day, and afterwards we headed towards this hostel I saw when we first arrived to town called Masai Mara. It was beautiful. They showed us the master suite, and we simply could not help ourselves. It was absolutely heaven. Actually, we called it the Majestic Palace and refered to the upstairs portion that held our bedroom and fantastic bathroom as Heaven. Every time we opened the door to our apartment or walked anywhere in the Pousada (hostel) little frogs and geckos hopped all over the place! We went to the different beaches every day and hiked up the dunes. We got to see several fantastic sunsets, as if they were taken from post cards. They actually have a dune called Sunset Dune or something like that (catchy, I know) that people hike to get a higher up view of the sunset.
My favorite part, or one of them at least, was going to the Manglars. What is a manglar, you might ask. Good question! I wondered the very same thing! When we looked at the poster about how Jeri was a natural reserve we saw an icon for the manglars that had a crab, some water, and a tree growing out of the water. Then we saw another one that was supposed to represent the manglar that just had a sea horse. What could this thing be!? So one day we hired a guy with a dune buggy (that is how they drive around in Jeri--fantastic and fun) to take us to the manglars. We got to see the strange and magnificent terrain of Jeri and the surrounding area, which included a visit to the manglars. Apparently a manglar is a body of water with trees coming out of it. There were tons of crabs....so many it looked like the ground was gyrating. We also got to see some sea horses, even a pregnant one! The guy that took us on the boat told us that a pregnant sea horse holds around 700 babies. Can you imagine sending all those suckers to college!?
Aaaaannywhoo, we are now in Recife, still with Ayal and happy he is here, slowly making our way towards Salvador to catch our flight to Lima, Peru. We travelled for about 20 hours just to get here and we are staying in a shitty hostel, so now we are gonna go to the beach.

Iĺl keep you posted!!
I LOVE you!!
