Capoeira Boys on a Beach in Brazil
Capoeira Boys on the Beach in BrazilOriginally uploaded by mgharris
We came for the sun, the vibe, the comfort of their native country for our Brazilian friends, and for the capoeira.
It’s Josh Garcia’s favourite sport and has got him out of more than one tight spot when it comes to dealing with enemies. And capoeira forms an important part of the plot for book 3.
So we came to see capoeira in it’s natural form, on the beach, in the streets of Brazil. Okay we didn’t see it used in rough Rio neighbourhood streets as a fight, but we did catch plenty of graceful displays, both rehearsed and impromptu.
Here’s a lovely photo that my husband snapped earlier this evening, as the sun was going down.
