Thanksgiving in Brazil

Unfortunately I was unable to get quality photo's of Thanksgiving. But, my class and myself went over to Carrin's house in Camburie. Carrin is an American woman originally from California. We met her by dining at her restaurant for a soccer benefit (picture and story at bottom of blog). 
We had all of the Thanksgiving fixens. Cranberry sauce was brought to Brazil by Marty's (a class mate) wife Elena all the way from San Francisco! Carin and her house governess made all of the food while we were in class. 
Speaking of house governesses, I have one and I love it. I'm seriously going to consider hiring one back in Cali............. 

Movement session 4. 
Do you remember how I said earlier that it's all about breathing and walking? Well here is a session that pertains to breathing! Oops I mean walking. Well it's truly about contralateral movement. Breathing and Walking.
There are no simple/good definitions in any dictionaries about contralateral movement so I'll have to take on the task here.  Your comments are greatly appreciated! 
Contra lateral is opposite side opposite corner. How it pertains to movement is for example: during walking, as the left leg swings forward the right arm swings forward simultaneously.  Vise-versa with the right leg/left arm. This transition of movement migrates all the way to the spine. Some say it originates in the spine. That's a later discussion. How does this pertain to normal people?  Restrictions..... I find where contralateral movement is restricted and fee it so a body can function and thrive.
