Normal Thursday morning

Hello my dear friend!
Yes! yes! it´s here! And I want to start writing immediatly!

Last Thursday was a very nice one for me here in Brasil.
I woke up at 8.30 and went to my Capoeira class with a friend.
Walking to the Cultural Centre was an experiance on it´s own. The Centre is situated in a less touristic part of Itacare and that emediatlly means it´s a poorer part of the town.
I love walking in that neigbourhood because it is so different and beautiful in its own way.
At 9 in the morning the Brasilian music is already pooring out of all the open windows and doors.
People are just hanging around, talking, in front of their house or that of their neigbours.
Children are playing in the middle of the street and al the freshly washed loundry is lying down on everything imaginable. I even saw loundry spread out on the street one day!

The Capoeira class was long and hard but very very nice. I like the way my body works it´s way trough the movements. And I like to feel my muscles work.

After the class my friend, Soledad, and I decided to go take a plunsh to cool down a bit...

So here we were: two friends talking about life in this cristal clear turqoise brasilian seawater on a coconut beach on a normal Thursday morning. We came up with the fallowing sentance that morning:

When humankind realises that the key to their happyness lays in their own hand, everybody would be where they want to be.

Life is beautiful, but you already knew that...
