Ponta Negra

I ran accross this picture today on Ellenvangeel's flickr page. This is Ponta Negra, in the city of Natal. Natal is the capital of Rio Negro, Brazil.

I have many fond memories of Ponta Negra. The big strip of sand you see in the center of the picture is actually part of a huge sand dune called Morro do Careca (Bald Man's Hill). I climbed up that hill, when I was younger and healthier. Even then it almost killed me.

A big thanks to Ellenvangeel for letting me post this. She has some other great pictures of Brazil at her site. Be sure to check them out!
