Who am I?

When I say this next statement, it may sound vain, but that's not what I'm going for. Ready?
I am really good at the tango and art!
So here's the reason I say that. On Wednesday, we went to Museo Torres-Garcia. He is a Uruguayan artist and his art is very noticable. At first it was Grecian, then it was New York bustle, the simple and symbolic Uruguay. We had the chance to go through the workshop and attempt some art ourselves. Mine wasn't the most amazing, but it was still good and my creative juices were flowing. So when I came home, I started on my World Lit art project that I wasn't looking forward to before. Now I have two of four done (I think)...just wish i had paint or charcoal :D
Later that evening, we had our second tango lesson. It was a lot more fun than the first one and we progressed much more than any other group before us. Now we know the basic step, the turn and the kick. The turn and the kick have other, more professional sounding names, but I don't remember them. lol. My goal was to get better at following the male. I can say that I succeeded in that and I was good at it. Remember, if anyone wants to learn...I can teach :)

Today we went to the American Embassy just to see what its like to be a diplomat here. It was short but informative. It has become a tradtion for us to cook on Friday nights. Tonight was enchiladas, salad with ranch, brownies and sweet tea! Most of these things we don't have on a normal basis so it was a real treat. Life is wonderful!
