Tranquilas

And, indeed, it snowed! It snowed on the 21 of november!

After our first experience in Batizado and Troca de Corda of Capoeira Amazonas, after we finally met Mestre Pontapé, new capoeiristas from Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia, Rijeka, and after we met the little boys and little girls that express their young and pure emotions through capoeira, the sky offered us lots of white conffeti: - “Else and Tânia” – we could hear him (the sky) speaking to us – “you did a good job, here, in Zaprešić, and for that you will have conffeti and a white carpet waiting for you!”.

I was super happy with the snow (neve, in portuguese)! For me is a rare and precious gift sent from the sky.

The day after – on sunday – we went to the Batizado and Troca de Corda in Pešćenica, and again, we met a group of new boys and girls looking forward to have the agile movements of Macaquinha (Tena) and the fluid movements of Cavalo (Nikola).

The first time I saw the kids playing in the Roda I was feeling so proud! Our association, our Capoeira Amazonas association, built all of this, it spread, in reality, all this communion, respect and love that I could see there, in front of me. I was a fullfilled EVSer in this two days.

 Yesterday it was the moment to start the English Playground in Pešćenica and we have to avoid, we had a bit of a hardest task this time (at least, comparing with the group of Zaprešić that Else told you about, on the last post)!

Some of the kids are in preadolescence, and, has we all know, this is not the most confortable place to be! Neither for them and neither for those who want to, as us, speak about Portugal and Spain… in english.
Anyway, we will, sto posto, conquer their hearts on the next sessions. “With time, with time, Else and Tânia!” – replied the sky, to our longer-than-the-usual look to him.

Look, they did pretty draws about Portugal and Spain: toureiras, beachs, olive oil, and a bull!

The cold imposed its presence, and we are, finaly, using our gloves. We accepted its presence peacefully…

Tranquila (peacefull) would be the adjective to describe our week!
