From the park, we headed our for another long day of driving. The bus is still sputtering and I think the issue is now the the distributor itself. When I watch the timing mark with a light, the advance seems to go backwards before forward. Et, it's inconsistent. I've lubricated it, but nothing changes. I'll ...

There have been impressive sand dunes for hundreds of kilometers, but Parque Nacional Lençois Maranhenses is a highlight. Premier, you have to take a 4 wheel drive jeep equipped with a snorkel to even get out there. It takes about an hour driving through sand and lagoons. En fin, you're led into an otherworldly ...

We were on our way to Barra Grande (Ceará), on a tip, and only ten minutes down the road we were stalled.

From the lake, you can hop in the back of a 4WD truck that drives you through the sand to Jericoacoara (Jeri). It takes about 45 minutes of bumping, sliding and hitting your ass hard on a bench seat in the back of an old truck. It was fun.
This is another in-the-middle of nowhere, hard ...

From Canoa Quebrada, we drove 200 km to Cumbuco. We had originally planned a day in Fortaleza, but after meandering through town, we just didn't feel compelled to stop. Supposedly, they have the 'tallest waterslide in the world'. 14 stories. It costs a fortune.

From San Miguel de Gostoso, we made the fairly uninteresting drive along the back roads toward Areia Branca. Other than a quick beach stop at the beginning, there weren't many highlights. Lots of lowland muddy salt flats and a pretty ugly salt industry. And, the farther we get into Ceará state, the more animals we ...
