Left work early yesterday to get to my first Capoeira class on time. Of course, what with leaving at 4:45pm to make a 5 o’clock class, I still got there late. No matter... Discovered On Arrival that the Monday-Wednesday-Friday schedule was recently switched to a Tuesday-Thursday-Friday deal… So, after all the psyching up, it was a bit anti-climactic.

Saving grace: lured by the sound of intense drumming, found my way to the open-air theatre space at the back of La Pyramide (the cultural centre) and watched this amazing group of kids (ok, mostly late teens, early 20s) performing various engrossing cirque-de-soleil type talents: African dancing, lots of drumming, juggling, etc. They are there practicing almost every week day 12-5. Unfortunately, not conducive to one with a Monday to Friday office routine. But at least they’re fun to watch!

P.S. I really, really, really miss my camera!!
