Lifestyle

Yesterday morning we left Lisbon to go to Setubal to visit Marco. We stayed in touch after we met in NZ, so since I'm in Portugal now, I might as well visit.
We took the train to Setubal, which was all quite easy. It was a nice train ride which gave a good opportunity to see some more of Portugal than just the capital. The scenery was a nice, the sun was shining and before we knew we arrived in Setubal.
Marco told me the hotel was close to his club Lifestyle, so we decided to go walk over there once we arrived to the hotel. And indeed it was close, unfortunately there was this highway in between and there was no way we could cross it. We were thinking of doing it, but climbing over the fence and then making the front page of the newpaper ... mmm..... not a very good idea, so we walked all the way around. Right when we stepped into the club, we felt welcome. There was a nice lady sitting at the reception and she jumped up to get Marco. It was good to see him again and he invited us to do BA. We decided to do that as we brought or stuff. He also asked us to teamteach with him for BA in the evening ... uuuuuhhhh.... 2 BA classes???? Sure why not.
It was fun to participate in a Portugese BA class. Not a single word we could understand, but still we could do the class. After class we stayed and chatted, then we went to the mall to get something to eat real quick and then went back for BP and BA class. Marco said Nivaldo was teaching, so we joined his class too. It was good the see him again as well. With the shouldertrack he invited us to join him on stage. It was fun to do. And by understanding the looks in the eyes of the participants they enjoyed it. Even though this was not prepared it was a fun performance, some how a BP team was created at that time knowing what we could expect and all knowing what to do. Cool !!

After BP it was time for BA!!!! It was so much fun and it was special too. The people in class did really well. We were teaching in english as my portugese still isn't very good, but it seemed that they could understand as they were doing the things we said. All smiling faces in the studio.
After class people came up and talked and said they really enjoyed it. Thanks you guys!
We went back to the hotel, to freshen up and we were going to have dinner and go out with Marco, Joana and David. We had a great evening, drank too much Sangria, wine and other stuff, we pulled behind the bar in a club to fix drinks. I assume it didn't look very professional as I had never done it before, but who cares... we had fun. It was pas 05.00 am when we saw our bed again. I'll post some pictures later.
