¡Baila Baila!
We celebrated Winita's birthday yesterday with dinner and salsa dancing. I'd never salsa'd before, but I had a great time. It was so fun dancing with guys who wanted to dance...I don't encounter that often in my life. There were some super good dancers. I danced with one older guy (whose name I learned was Ricky) a handful of times. The first couple times, I felt like I was hanging on for dear life :: he liked spinning the girl for the full length of the song.

But by the end of the evening, and after getting lots more practice with other partners, I felt like I could hang with Ricky somewhat better. olé.

¡Me voy!
Complications began to arise with planning a trip to Europe. I was looking for a partner in crime since the boys i'd been planning to go with suggested i find a 4th person because it's easier to travel in even numbers. Well, my search for a partner to go sightseeing in Europe resulted in a partner with whom to go salsa dancing, cartwheeling in the sand, and beach laying in Brazil.

There are only minor complications with this. I need to get my passport expedited, but I already turned it in for renewal. Not sure what's going to happen to travel plans if i can't get my passport in time.
