More beautiful moments...

Music on the Streets:

I have seen some great street shows so I´ll tell you about a couple. There seems to always be music. My favorite so far has been these two guys with drums and bells and several digereedoos a piece playing some digereedoo techno stuff. They had their mouths blowing and the bells on their ankles ringing and played some phat rhythms on the drums. I literally sat down in front of the crowd of people and stayed for the whole show. Should have bought the c.d...
There is also this group of "native americans" playing, well, native american sounding music, with the pan pipes and flutes and singing and they even have the costumes, straight down to the feather head-dresses. They are on the streets at least 3-4 nights a week.
I also saw a cool tango dance show last week.
Pretty lady in a short black skirt and bright red tights dancing with some guy with a suit and shiny shoes. All we were looking at really was her red legs, as they were so much longer and thinner and brighter than the rest of the black they wore. It was a nice get-up.
Lastly, I saw a ROCKIN´ break-dancing show. These five guys, and they really had the moves. It just got better and better until this one guy put on a helmet and finished the show with a really long, fast headspin in the perfect splits. I had just watched a video on how to do headspins and it gave me a real appreciation for it. This guy was way better than the teachers on the video.

Churros:

Ok, so I passed this little stand on the street today, and had a little piece of happiness. Honestly, I dont usually eat little sugar-coated, fried pieces of white flour, but I just had to try authentic churros. Taco Bell has got nothing on them, that is for sure. I was in heaven for a few moments, until my stomach realized the gut-bomb I just threw down there. Yummy!

Circus Center:

I found a little circus center here a couple weeks ago. My ankle is finally good enough to at least start stretching again and getting ready for my "real" training when I get to NY. I have been going every day for the past couple days. I love it
