This is Risada. I´m currently in Rio and will be in Brazil for 2 1/2 more weeks. If you need any abadas or other capoeira stuff, drop me an e-mail and I can let you know what the prices are around here.  If you decide that the price is okay, I can buy them for you and you can pay me back when I get back to the states. I will be in Atlanta from Jan. 28- Feb 4 (for any of you living in Atlanta) and will be in New Orleans thereafter.  You can e-mail me directly at alimc02@... .
