Summer Vacation ~ Day 5 Spanish Landing & Batizado

We has been looking forward to the Batizado for some time now. In Capoeira, it is a "baptism" that happens once a year or so, where new capoeirestras get their nicknames and belts and those with belts, move up and so on. Shea earned the nickname "Fugeira", which means "bonfire"! Very fitting :)
Then, they fight the maestro!

and Clea found her brother's doppleganger @ Capoeira.



We also went down to the San Salvado, however, to my dismay, they put a damn fence around it and are charging admission. ;(
