Hello all,

So lately we´ve been hanging around with CM Gordo and Vitor. Here´s a picture of us taking a look for a dove that a kid had injured with a slingshot (good aim). It was dead when we found it.



Sunday night is normally time to go to the Sé, which is the big hangout in Olinda. There is always a roda there on Sunday nights, which has a reputation for being a tough street roda. I played in it the Sunday before last, and it was a good time... a bit rough, but nothing out of the ordinary. Last Sunday, however, we staying at home and had ourselves a back-yard roda. It was a much tougher roda than the one at the Sé! But a good time was had, and we worked up a good sweat.



Also, a couple weeks ago now, Instructor Soldado left for Malaysia to teach Capoeira there. There was a festa for him at his girlfriend Ani´s house.




Lately we´ve been helping out CM Gordo with his new CD, which has some really cool songs on it. Ok, I´m going to cut short, as my time on the computer is almost up... tchau for now.
