Salsa!

So an update is long overdue. One of these days I will sit down and write out all i've been doing these past couple of days, but I need to take care of something before I get around to that... Until then we'll go with mini-updates about big things.

I started SALSA classes! SO fun!!! I love being taught by guys who can move their hips better than I can.. haha. I miss dancing soo much. Allison and I got a membership at the local gym where they also teach dance classes. It's only a hill (that's how we're starting to refer to our blocks because we literally have to go up hills) from our house.

I took an hour of intense Zumba on tuesday and salsa yesterday. Zumba was nothing like I imagined it to be. Consider it a fusion of everything. From salsa to bellydancing to jazz to i dont even know what. All i know is I haven't sweated that much in a long time-- and I miss it! I think we're going to start going everyday so hopefully by the end of this summer, I shall be a salsa expert and not feel so incompetent on the dance floor here.

Interesting thing about dance classes here, there are just as many guys as girls! That is so incredible! I wish los Estados Unidos would pick up on this trend.

Anyway, that's all I have for now. I think tomorrow we're going to climb the bufa (the largest mountain here). Apparently there's a part where we literally have to rock climb... so we'll how that goes. Regardless I'm excited!

Hasta Luego (Until Next time)
