big weekend
I dont know if you guys know but I been doing Capoeira here in Mexico, well this past weekend the school that I go to had their opening inaguration party and they had a 3 day Capoeira worshop. they invited mestre Cobra Mansa who is very famous and knew a lot about it. We had 5 hour movement clases and in between the teachers showed us a documantary and they Capoeira mestre gave a whole presentation about birimbaus( an instrument that is used in capoeira that makes a sound like woa woa woa something like that) Even though Charlotte didnt take tha whole worshop she attended the birimbau presentation and we were so lost because the teacher was speaking in potugees and well we could understand anything, well just a little but it was very interesting because the teacher had just gone to angola in africa and he did a study of the other types of dance forms they do in those towns and how it realtes to the brazilian capoeira. Well it was all very much fun exept for my back that is swollen from all the exercise. Well right now Iam doing all the grocery shoping and charlotte is in her painting class. We wiil write some more later take care con mucho amor- miguel
