August 19 Andanças 2008We arrived early...there were practically no tends and it seemed that not many people were around.
Our feet were already asking for some dancing and right after setting up our tends we went out searching for the early sounds of a festival about to be born...far away we heard a violin and we followed our ears. we came up to a little spot behind the church were we found a violinist and a flout player...we urged them to play for us to dance they did...and so it started!!
Out of nowhere people came out to dance, smiling and grabbing each others hands with no prejudices or problems of any kind, were you black, blue...a good or a bad dancer..
this is the spirit of Andanças!!
I was for 10days in this beautiful festival in S.Pedro do Sul, with old and new friends in a spirit of peace and music. It was the best festival I had ever been in...I confess that everyday my thougs went to friends I left in Italy and that I would surely appreciate to have near me to share these wonderful times in Andanças...But things are just like this...maybe one day we will find each other again or maybe not. What matters are the good times we spent together and all the wishing well that will always be in my mind for them.
Morena would have loved it and Anna would go crazy! Nil would be to happy to speak and Adriana would go nuts!! Reanatinha tu ia adorá mulééééé!
And I know some other few that would get lost in the crowd dancing until their feet would stop working...(if they ever would ...)
the pictures show some of the beautiful things I've lived there including my volunteer work and my great colleagues...but the atmosphere...well you have to be there to believe it...
thank you to those who shared it with me and made it such a great time...it was even better than all my expectations!!
until next time:) TrackbacksWeblogs that reference this entry
