Capoeira and Chapala

With our new friends Annie, Super, Panzon, and Elena, we spent nearly the full day together, first joining them, or I should say, observing the whole family, in Super´s Capoeira class in the plaza.  Then they invited us to go to Lake Chapala, the biggest lake in Mexico (unfortunately too pulluted to swim in).  We stayed all afternoon at a series of pools of different temperatures heated by geothermal energy.

Finished the afternoon off with some arrachera, and corn ice cream, before the ride back, when Panzon and I took pictures of each other in the back of the family van through crazy Guadalajara traffic.  Many thanks to Tiffany Brown, a photographer at the Las Vegas Sun, for introducing us to them here.

    WOW! — the capoeira shots with the shadows are AMAZING. I’m gonna need one for my Meltzer gallery someday! Very cool… looks like Panzon is quite the man with a camera :)
