We arrived outside Fortaleza early this morning only to be put in a holding pattern for an hour because the Brazilian’s weren’t ready for us…. Oh well, you get used to stuff like this. Once we docked, we were joined by Ed & Becky and we took the first shuttle to town. It dropped us off at the old jail which has been converted into a handicraft market. We left that for later and headed out exploring to town a little. We checked out the beautiful cathedral and went on from there to the central market. This place was huge, going up several levels. Since it was Sunday and a holiday to boot, not much else was open. We walked out to the coast to go to the English Bridge which we discovered after a long walk that it was closed for safety reasons. We headed back to the craft market, checked out the stores and called it a day. It was so unbelievably hot that we had no more desire to explore Fortaleza…. Not a great place to visit anyway.
