congrats on getting your belt. i’m so proud of you.

i love you!

andorinha, that took courage. the energy, the crowd circled ’round, the beating of the drums, the chanting and singing, not to mention the gorilla instructor in the “roda” with you. besides being new to the sport, you’re in a cross cultural setting, a different language, a different sense of everything. i can’t imagine what it must have felt like to you on the floor.

i’m certain that the african deities that loitered there via their images on the walls knew that your axé came from the highest souce. girl, i think the mystery of “mandinga” is in your future.

wow.

Erica, I’m so proud of you and very impressed. I’d be terrified to do that, but you performed with such grace and agility… until you kicked the guy in the end, lol! Beautiful.
