Wherein the blog is born…

We’ll kick off this Adventure in WordPress by live-blogging Ashley teaching Manuel to dance Salsa. What better way is there to begin my adventure into Latin culture than with something like this? We’ve rolled up the rug and everything. I officially live in the cool house.

I leave for La Espana on Thursday, only a few days from now. I think I have most things under control – my “to do list” and my “to pack list”, a full two pages, are now completed, or at least mostly. There are a few things left to do tomorrow, but from now on it will mostly be stressing about what I’m forgetting to buy instead of stressing about how I’ll have time to buy all the things I need.  Which, given the size of my lists, is remarkably small. Go me.

I haven’t much to say in this first blog post; I am, after all, not in Europe yet!  But it must start somewhere, so why not now? With a Lisp, (ha ha, Spaniards) you have officially been birthed. Look forward to photos! Maybe some words! Maybe some mockery of Europeans and some mockery of self! You never know what will happen.

I will leave you with a quote:

Ashley: “That’s good, now let’s try that on the beat.”

Manuel: “That’s the worst thing a girl could ever say to me.”
