Hi Capoeiristas,

There's a very special event coming up in February in Ananda, New York.  You can fly into any of the 3 airports in NY and it's about an hour away from Manhattan.  Buses and carpools are being organized.  Contra-Mestre Foca and Instructor Ana are excellent teachers, great capoeiristas, and good people overall. I'm planning on attending so if you want to travel together, send me an e-mail.  If you're interested in registering for the retreat, contact Ana directly at zecatarina@...  .

Wiahing you the best for 2007,

Risada
