Well hello there

Alright you guys after my last rounchy post and a few words from my mother I have decided to keep the blog at a more appropiate level rather then just sharing my drunken stories. If you found the last one a little too much well then I am sorry and promise to bring it back to a level of interest. Well its been bad weather for the past couple days and I've decided to stay where I'm at until it clears up because I'm right off the beach and didn't get much of an opportunity to swim yet. Also there is an island that I hear is a must see so I believe that I will hang out until my friends friend arrives and we'll head out to there. Just to tell you that yesterday I pack all my clothes in my little backpack in order to do laundry walk a couple blocks down and then remember its Sunday which means everything here is shut down, except for the bars of course. I was able to eat a meal at a place called shenanigans and yes of course its an Irish bar but the only reason why we were there was for the american football. I saw the Jets and the NE game and then the all but end of what I read later was amazing of the San Diego Denver game. I play fantasy football and it is really tough to try to stay on top of your team when you can't see any of the games. I'm down 5 points with Tony Romo going against philly and my opponent has Terrell Owens and Donovan McNabb so its not looking good right now but I have faith. Well after a little football I head to the commonplace upstairs at my hostel where they are showing us Capoeria which is a combination of martial arts and dance. There was about 10 or so people doing it infront of all of us so close that I nearly got kicked in the face by spin kicks and one of them got pushed into my chair while trying a handstand in the fight. You seen it before where they kind of step close then step back compiled with acrobatic flips and kicks. After their performance they pull people out of the crowd and of course for the second night in a row I'm pulled to center stage. The night before they were teaching us how to dance 'funk' which was basically hips moving. So when they have the volunteers they have us mock fight with the Capoeria and after watching a few failed attempts before me it is my turn and I'm nervouse doing this in front of the other hostel mates. It begins with our hands in eachothers as to say begin and then we both do a kartwheel into the middle of the ring. My opponent shows me the initial steps, left foot forward right foot back then right foot forward left foot back, ok got it. Now bring your forearm up to protect your face with each step and we're off. He signals me to duck as he kicks over me and then I follow and kick over him, a few spinning heal kicks and a few jumps to advoid contact and now I'm feeling like a natural. Definitely recieved the largest applause from the audience and when I return to my seat everyone doesn't believe that I've never done that before. One guy said hey are you athletic, I didn't know how to properly answer the question. Then the evening we go to the favela funk party and its basically a warehouse with like 2500 people inside all moving to samba. I really enjoyed myself there and it was basically the whole hostel there and we partied until 5am. Well thats about it, today its raining so I'm just going to do some laundry and watch a movie. Miss everyone back home. Hey if you give me you email addresses I can send you my brazil photos with a link from snapfish.
