Pisina Naturais: Swimming With Fish

        Fish, fish, fish, fish…  I saw a BUNCH of fish!!  In Porto de Galinhas, we headed to the main attraction: the Pisina Naturais.  The name Pisina Naturais means Natural Pool in Portuguese, the pools are round shallow holes formed by corals and rocks, the water is really calm and shallow, because there’s a wall of corals surrounding the beach, that way, the waves just splash on the “walls” and don’t go near the coast. 

My trip to Recife Brazil

We went to Recife right after the day my vacation started.  I was so busy at school to write anything.  Well, how can I start?  We took a plane to Recife.  The 1^st day, we went to this place near Recife called Olinda. We went there to visit a Buddhist temple, we met abbess Jue Xi and ate lunch there. 

In the temple, we met a very nice man, he knew a lot about the history in Olinda so he took us on a tour to see some important churches.  They were all REALLY old; some were even 500 years old!!  But the best one we saw was a 400, okay, to be exact 428 year old church.  It was BEAUTIFUL!!  It was all gold, like the roof was gold, the statues were gold….. EVERYTHING was gold.  And the gold wasn’t just gold paint; it was a thin layer of real, actual gold.
