Natural pools of Maragogi. When I was there, the tide was too high and the Brazilian government does not authorize boat trips to this place for conservation reasons (I don't know..). Anyway.. I did not take this picture...

Delta do Rio Sao Francisco na cidade de Piacabucu (unica palavra em Portugues com dois c-cedilhas) - O verdadeiro rio Brasileiro
Delta of Sao Francisco River in the town of Piacabucu (pronounced: Pee-Ah-Sah-boo-s00) - the "true Brazilian river" - unlike the Amazon river, that starts in Peru, the Sao Francisco river starts in Brazil and flows into the Atlantic ocean in Alagoas.

Nessa parte do rio Sao Francisco a agua ja e meio salgada
At this point in the river, the water is already a little salty

O que tem de errado nessa foto? Se voce reparar bem, tem um farol no meio do mar. Antigamente, esse farol ficava em terra firme (e essa terra firme na foto ja e o estado de Sergipe), mas como fizeram uma barragem no Rio Sao Francisco, o volume de agua que desagua no mar diminuiu e o mar avancou sobre a terra, alagando uma aldeiazinha onde o farol ficava. Conclusao: NAO se meta com a natureza!
What is wrong with this picture? If you look closely, you can see a lighthouse in the middle of the water. This lighthouse used to be in land (By the way, the land you see is already the state of Sergipe in Brazil). Since they made a dam on the river, the volume of water flowing into the ocean lessened and the ocean waters actually started coming more towards the land and flooded a small village where the lighthouse was. Lesson of the day: DON'T mess with mother nature!
