I was feeling a little better today, so I went with the group to Porto de Galinhas. There are natural pools formed here by the low tide similar to the ones in Maceio. But while you just swam in the pools in Maceio, here the reefs were actually exposed enough that you could walk on them and see the little crabs and fish trapped in tiny puddles of water.

Snorkeling gear was also available, so we would dive under the water to try to catch glimpses of the schools of fish swimming past. It was fun but difficult to stay underwater since people are naturally more buoyant in seawater. We had to take turns holding one another underwater so that we could get a good look at the fish and the reefs.
