Well, salsa lesson was fun, but fair to say we won't be entering any competitions just yet. Very different to usual dancing technique i.e. getting drunk and waving arms in the air. Have to hold hands with partner! Sweaty palms embarassing for all concerned. This is why I never took up salsa classes - plus having 2 left feet. Never mind, we are both looking forward to next week's lesson (and I think teacher Roberto can hardly wait, either...)

Learning Spanish is also suprisingly enjoyable. Only 3 days so far and we can both manage a basic conversation - 'hello, what is your name? what is your job? etc. Still need phrasebook for most common situations - which bars are showing the football? Aren't Germany rubbish? Can I have 2 bottles of Sol beer and a packet of doritos, please?

Got to go and practice me verbs,
Hasta luega! J
