We took a boat and sailed through Parnaíba river, to the Delta Parnaiba point where the river joins the sea. In Delta of Parnaíba I we got off the boat and walked in the huge dune that "separates" the river from the sea.
I went from one side to another side of the dune. I got to the sea! On the way back we stopped again in another huge dune. It is impossible to describe the size of the dunes" highlights Alex.
Alex consider very important to remindi readers that "I write to all my perceptions. I am a Deafblind person I write what I can notice."
