Day 8, Jan 11, 2006: Prainha Beach with Franklim and Cristiany
Jan 11 was another hot, sunny day in Fortaleza. (I think I´m starting to notice a pattern...)
View out the back door of the Pousada Romana (Roman Inn) where we stayed.


Once again, Cristiany´s wonderful, oldest brother Franklim invited us gringos to accompany him to the beach. This time the beach was pristine Prainha, a good ways east of Fortaleza, and Cristiany came along.
We stopped at Cristiany´s mother´s house on the way to the beach, and I got to meet her parrot.


Cristiany `São Francisco´ Rabelo


We sped off to the beach.

That evening we went out for some live entertainment: a torchy vocalist and her zombie guitarist.


Cristiany was ALL DECKED OUT! Sorry, guys; she´s taken.
