Here are some pictures I decided to put up because I thought they were funny. When we went to Aracati to visit my wifes brother he had said he had a duplex house. That it was a 2 story house and that it was a great house to live in.

This is a prime example why you should always be prepared, the house looked like something out of a horror flick. The house was more like a bunker used in world war 2 and the bathroom was so horrible I was even afraid to do number 1 in there.

Sleeping was a task in itself, with mosquitos buzzing about and hungry for your blood. The air is hot all around you and having to put a sheet over you so the bugs don't bite make it that much hotter. But remember we where told this was a great place. Yeah right!

Needless to say we got a hotel room at about 3am to get a decent night sleep.

They have lots of Dune Buggy tours and rentals for you to choose from and very nice area to visit. Of course this area of the beach you will have the slight problem of people trying to sell you something every 5 seconds which makes it quite annoying on this part of the beach which is the entrance to the beach.

Of course the beach is not the only thing to see in Aracati, they also have a nice little plaza to shop and sightsee in as you can see in the photo below.
