Praia de Pipa

Don't you wish you were there right now? It's called Praia de Pipa, and it's where I swam with dolphins. It's on the northeast corner of Brazil, right above Canguaretama, in the Rio Grande do Norte state.
The water is beautiful and very, very warm. Walking into it was just like being in the warm, near-equatorial air. The sand was gorgeous and at times streaked with dark basalt. I really like it there, how relaxed it was. It was sort of an in-the-know beach bumming town. Our hotel room had a hammock on its balcony. The hammock looked like this, but our view was slightly different--there were a few buildings in our view before we saw the ocean.

Who wants to go back with me?
