Late, but not dead. (for two weeks)

18 Apr

Why hello our (currently not so) adoring public!

We are not in fact dead.  I realize that there is no real way to know that fact if we do not post a blog or photos to the blog for (2) weeks.  Yes, I also know that may cause some undue stress in your lives.  And I do apologize.  I don’t even have a decent excuse!

What I do have is a plan to swing by the local tango studio today and not only sign up for dance lessons here in Cali, but also order myself in a pair of custom-made dancing shoes, designed by my own crazy mind.  Because you can do these sorts of liberating and amazing things in Colombia for a reasonable price.  Would you like to browse as well?

The ultimate plan is to learn this dance, which not only takes one item off my bucket list but also gives me something to do while H may or may not be teaching youths about science at a local English-speaking school.  This would only be until June (when the school session ends), but I feel that is plenty of time to get my feet ready for serious tango dancing when I reach BA, Argentina.

Our days consist of swimming at the local pool to get H’s arms ready for our Ecuador surf session coming up (soon?), taking cold showers to break the oppressive heat, having daily new dramas shake up our lives in new and exciting ways, cooking food (mostly a group effort these days), and salsa dancing 5 nights a week (unless it’s raining; Colombians are like cats and do not enjoy going out when it’s wet). We have been doing some other new interesting things as well, which I will blog about again this week (probably).

And I’m having an actual birthday this year. Which it is now officially confirmed that G will be coming to enjoy as well! So darn it, I’m buying some heels!

And learning how to do this

    […] But instead of going straight to Mompiche to wait for H to exit the jungle, I decided to meet two friends from Cali in Quito. That decision from the last blog was making me crazy, and I needed someone sane nearby to […]
