Counting to 8

As I in my previous post, our group learned about and danced some Tango last night! It was interesting to say the least. The first 30 minutes or so was used to tell some history of this dance. I am a big fan of Dancing with the Stars, so I have always been curious about the dances they do. After our history lesson we went into our patio classroom to actually learn the basic steps.
They had us move on own to begin with (which felt pointless and silly), then we were separated into guys and girls so that we could learn our specific movements. Doing the 8 steps by yourself was a breeze, but of course the next step was with the boys! Our intructors demonstrated a tango and a milonga (two types of dances). They are the pros and none of us looked nearly as smooth as they did :) There is a shortage of guys in our group so we had to share. The boys did a wonderful job of dancing with every girl, even though they may not have been happy to be there. Hey they got to control the girls movements and we had to obey, so that's what they always want right? Just kidding.
Hopefully we will have at least a few more tango lessons! I really enjoyed learning the little that we did, and I think I was pretty good at it. If any of you want me to teach you the steps I can....obviously I will know the girls' steps better than the boys' but it's easy to figure out.
Raquel, our main cook, is back and her food is amazing! The food that we had previously was stil great but hers has topped all of it. For people's birthday's she makes whatever kind of cake they want, and I think they get to choose what's for lunch too.
Today I went to pick up my laundry and was expecting 2 loads back, but only recieved 1. I went back later in the afternoon and the owner of the place remembered my name. She realized that my second bag wasn't there when I came that morning. I was afraid I would have to explain what clothes I was missing! Just the fact that she remembered my name was awesome...yet another thing that makes me feel at home. God is so great to all people, not just me.
