 Pontes 2001 - Stereotypes and Differences

All right: workshops, slam and many interesting things in the program; but only for the boat trip everyone showed up at 8 o'clock in the morning in a chilly bay without mumbling.
As the morning was cloudy with a drop of rain, only a geek would take a swimming suit, as we thought. But, as it goes in life, after a couple of hours the sky was smiling, the sea like oil, and the net full of fresh fish prepared for lunch.
The swimming part went funny: a few of them in the same (wet) swimming suit, some of them wearing ordinary underwear, some wearing nothing at all, and some stayed on the boat having fun there.
Crumbs of figs grown by women-prizoners on Grgur island still dancing around our teeth.
