Nice to have more information. I'm trying to ignore any potential double entendres involved with decorating a bridegroom's club for a wedding. :rolleyes: :D

That looks neat. The Lost Cities of The Amazon on National Geographic covers similar ground, I think. It shows up on the National Geographic Channel in the US.

Personally, I think the Koreans did it better (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myunjebaegab). But that is off topic. Getting back on topic, why hasn't anyone talked about Francisco de Orellana...

Hi Vandoo,

Loved the pictures, but I'm not sure that the "Bolo perdido" is an early version of the bolo. I remember reading that it was a later version, and the multi-ball versions were the...

If someone can give me good translations for those terms, I think I can photoshop those images into English at least. Or Portuguese.

You know, I was just looking up the terms for leaves, to see if there was something mellifluous that might work here. For leaves, the term is "keeled" as if the leaf blade were keeled like a boat. ...
