Day 35: Porto De Galinhas
We went on vacation AGAIN!
This time we went to Porto De Galinhas, which means port of
chickens. It was named this because when the slave trade was banned, and slave
traders were still bringing slaves into brazil, they would say that the
chickens were here. Chicken was the code name given to the slaves. Eventually the
name stuck and that’s what they called the city.
Even though its history is a little dark, it is a really
beautiful city. There are wooden chickens in funny outfits all over the place.
It’s really touristic, there are small shops everywhere.
When we got there we took a boat ride to the reef and fed
fish, and swam with fish. I really did not like walking on the reef at all. I felt
like it was killing a part of nature that took thousands of years to create. I don’t
know. I just felt guilty.
Afterwards Sara and I got our hair dreaded. It was really
funny because the price was originally 20, and Sara talked the girl down to 7. I
would never be that brave, but that’s hos business is handled in Brazil.
We spent most of the time sleeping on the beach or in the
water. The water is really gorgeous here, super clean.
A whole day on the beach is always exhausting but completely
worth it.
