Salsa!

Last night we got to go salsa dancing in santiago! i was so excited. i found another girl to go with so it was nice to go just the two of us instead of such a large group. we went to another area of the city called providencia, and there we took a salsa lesson at the restaurant habana. it was just 2 couples and a single guy. he turned out to be french which was interesting. i paired with him and dana was with the instructor. we danced for about 2 hours! the best part was when i was counting to the beat in spanish, my partner in french, and the instructor in english. well it was funny to me, maybe you had to be there ¨:). we went with the guys to a sushi restaurant and i had the best white choc mousse. two of the guys spoke spanish fluently. they had a good time with the fact that i sound like an idiot. we missed the metro on the way back, so instead of walking forever back it took us a half hour to figure out the right bus back to the hostel. good times! some chileno guys asked to take us for a beer so i finally got to practice my spanish. it was choppy and confusing, we definitely had to do a lot of charades. but im so happy i tried. it was prob the best night out so far. a neat experience. well im off to another orientation class. this is getting pretty tiring. Hasta luego!
