May 24 Cumbuco Beach, 1hr north of Fortaleza.

Spent the day at cumbeuco beach at a barraca. There were some kite boarders but no surfers. There were alright waves for some body surfing but that's it. After tanning and swimming for a while we had lunch. I had some fish in a cream sauce with melted cheese And fried plantanes and some shrimp payeya type dish. Both were great especially the fish.



Behind the beach are a ton of huge sand dunes and aline Tony dmitry and I went on a sweet dune buggy ride and the driver took us over some pretty gnarly dunes. He asked if we wanted the ride "with excitement or without excitement" obviously we went with excitement. Half way through the ride we stopped at this sand boarding spot which was really cool. For about $2.50usd we rented boards which were pretty makeshift but they waxed up the bottoms and they moved pretty fast. You start at the top of this dune and ride the thing all the way down straight into a fresh water lagoon at the bottom. We started out sitting and then dmitry and I tried doing it standing up which was pretty challenging but I managed to make it down into the lagoon without crashing.



Dmitry got a Handle of it too but his board was too slow to make it to the lagoon. We took the buggy back to the beach and Aline dmitry and I got massages which were awesome. For about $13usd we got great 1hour massages which includede a facial cleanse and some sort of hair treatment. Very relaxing.
