like I mentioned in previous submissions a while back, the high school students from the school where I teach, took a little tour trip to a city here in Brazil called São Luis, in the state of Maranhão.. while there, we visited a national park called the Lencois Maranhenses which was the opposite of a desert oasis. Instead of a patch of green vegetation in the middle of a huge desert, there was a desert right in the middle of a jungle/tropical area. It spread out for kilometers and in some places the rain water accumulated to form these massive pools of crystal clear water. Anyways, it was a fantastic visit.. one which I hope to take again someday.
