Astounding Aryclea

Back to Rio for a very special occasion, Aryclea’s 95th birthday. Our companion for Scottish Country dancing and recent recruit to our choir was celebrating with a ‘Coquetele dancante’ – drinks with dancing, and all the trimmings. Probably fortunately, her idea of getting everyone on the floor to do The Gay Gordons etc was quietly shelved. Instead, the DJ played all the old Carnaval songs and everyone got up to samba – with Aryclea leading the way.

No words to describe how fantastic she is, she’s truly something else. And I almost forgot to mention – she had a bad fall mid-week, and the dark glasses hide a black eye. The lump on her head is hidden by her hair.
