Dance, Dance!

Hi! Quick post today, because I have to wake up in about 4 hours… haha. Marianna is awesome, and in fulfilling her role as the best host mom ever tonight let us have several of our friends over. We just opened a bag of Doritos (they are spicier here, by the way), made a blender of margaritas, and sat around the dinner table, chatting away! They loved Marianna almost as much as we do. Apparently, we’re living in a pretty awesome house for Mexico too, because our friends said it was a lot bigger and nicer than the ones they are living in. They love their homes and families, too, but we definitely didn’t expect their reactions to the house. Basically, I’m sticking with my usual tradition of being spoiled! Here’s us at our little fiesta tonight… excuse the gross pony tail hair, por favor, but I thought you all might want to meet Marianna! Our amiga to the right is Laura.

Anyway… I had my first Salsa class today! We had SO much fun. I officially love salsa and if any guy out their is interested in being my partner when I get back in the States, I want to take more classes!! No, seriously… let me know! Our teacher was actually not very good… he went way to fast and didn’t break things down very well, but he was entertaining and we had a great time at least trying. Hopefully next class will be a little better. He kept making fun of how gringos never touch, and we’re super shy so we have to take our “gringo chip” out, and insert our “latino chip” so we could be more “sensual”. NOT sexual, sensual. Raul, the instructor, made it very clear that it’s not sexual harassment, it’s Salsa. (It was a joke… guess you probably had to be there…) Anyway, I don’t think any of us really tapped into our latino chips, but we had a great time spinning around everywhere anyway! We’re going out on Thursday I think to try our some of our new moves… it should be SERIOUSLY entertaining! Especially considering there were 5 guys in the class and about 35 girls, so half the girls had to be guys, and then those guy-girls had to practice being the girls so the girls then had to be guys. Needless to say, I think we were all more confused than Dennis Rodman by the end of it. But, I’m sure we’ll sort it out in the end! I’m going to crash now… better post coming soon, I promise. Weekend beach plans to Vallarta are in the works!!! Buenas noches mis amigos…
