Recordações do torneio do Ultimate de praia do Bar do Peixe de 1998

I just realized I haven't written you since BDP. As usual, people that come home after the tournament fall in a dull state of half-depression. All the sweet memories, the people, their faces...

During the tournament those of us who had been there in '97 noticed in the eyes of the newcomers the sparkle of true happiness. Zuli, for instance, kept coming to me, grabbing my arm and telling me: "Peldi I have never been so happy". And this was before we won the tournament.

For us quot;oldtimersquot; it wasn't new any more, it was a confirmation of our memories. quot;It's the only tournament worth coming to every year regardless of where you'll livequot; (it could be BDP's motto). Melle is the living proof.

The tournament was, once again, perfect and the Portuguese players are a lot of fun.

Peldi, Itália ,

Skipping out on school to run away to Portugal for the weekend was a mischievous and terribly irresponsible thing to do and boy am I ever glad I did it! How fabulous, how magical, what a country you live in. You know, by the time we reached the campground from the airport that first day, my face was aching -- I was grinning so hard and couldn't stop, so full of glee was I to be at another Bar do Patrick & Sofia tournament, in this magical land. I don't know what it is about Portugal but it's really one of my favorite places in the world. I have already sent two people, who were wondering what to do with their summer vacations, to Portugal. Perhaps that wasn't fair of me because they couldn't hope to have the sort of exhuberant experience as what I had twice at the tournaments, or even the prowling around Lisbon as we did last year, with a pack of Swiss, Itália ns, Brits and you two. Hopefully I'll be on the ball enough next year to pull the same sort of disappear-appearance act. You've made this a priority for me, you know!

I got lots of email from my French Fried Feet teammates in the weeks afterward, still glowing in the glory. You really do something wonderful when you provide an arena for old friends to meet up from far corners of the earth, and for us to make new fabulous friends. Bar do Peixe tournaments enhance my life, and I'm sure many other people feel the same way.

Melle, EU,

Thank you soooo much for the tournament. I had the time of my life. I am going to do everything in my power to make it back next year. I already have my pictures developed and they turned out great. There are some really funny pictures from the naked game. I will send you a couple if you like. I hope all is well.

Thanks again,

Rocky, Esphanha,

Before too many people realize I'm back at work, I just want to say THANKS for a GREAT tournament, and hope that we can come close to equaling how smoothly it went with our smaller tournament here. Thanks for the shuttle service again, for vegetarian food, for a beautiful baby to look at live and in person, and for a great reason to spend 4 days on a Portugese beach.

obriagado, grazie, danke (sorry, can't remember the spelling in dutch), thanks, gracies,

Matt, Espanha

I would like to say that a tournment on the beach I recently went to was one of the best times I've had in my life. And I think that the person who organised it should be given a big cream cake-if they like cream cake of course, or they could have a dougnut in stead.

Thank You for arranging so much fun for all of us. I can still remember it all so well ( well all the bits I was able to remember at the time, which certainly wasn't everything!) I have now caught the travel bug and plan to go to the Swiss tournment PARTY ON.

Dreaming in anticipation of next years return to Portugal thanks a million again

I wanted to say thanks so much for all your hard work and kindness in June. Man, did I have a blast! I can honestly say that I loved every second of my trip -- all the way down to the gorgeous women I kept getting seated beside on the airplanes! Amazing!

I got all my pictures back. And I am afraid I am succeeding in advertising for next year's tourney. I'm sure there will be 6 or 8 Vancouverites in attendance -- but none are as gloriously bald as me. Especially not the women. But I suppose they're good-looking too. Anyway, I will send some pix to you -- some by mail if I get off my ass, or some by e-mail if I get adventurous. We'll see.
