I just wanna dance

Thought I would write a new post before all these exciting things start building up. I have quite a list. First of all, last Wednesday was a very empowering day for me. I walked to the Waterfront for the first time. It's about a 20 minute walk from where I live, but I found my way! The Waterfront might be my favorite place on the island because of it's awesome view, a long stretch of shops as well as stands where locals sell their crafts. I like to go to a coffee shop that overlooks the ocean and sit and enjoy the AC with an iced coffee. Jade likes to people watch and soak up the attention she gets there. Then I biked to the gym for the first time! And rode on the left side of the road! Later that night I got to learn how to drive. Pretty exciting day.

This weekend was pretty exciting as well. Friday night I went to 80's night. I'm not usually an 80's girl. We didn't have to dress up, but there was dancing. It was probably the best dancing I've ever experienced. There were lots of different types of dancers, all ages and types. It was almost like a scene out of a movie because the girl I was with liked to imitate other dancers and eventually pulled me along. So here was this Hip Hop/break dancer all blinged out trying to teach the white girl from the Midwest rhythm. Eventually I let loose and was able to pick some stuff up. It was totally different from clubbing back home because the people you dance with you actually watch and read their body and interact and use your head. Totally my kind of dancing. I also swingdanced with the 60 year old guy who was an actually pretty sweet dancer. There were more types and they just watched eachother and gave eachother the floor. I guess they all know eachother because of 80's night at The Wharf. I'm def going again.

Saturday was my first soccer game. I went to this bar that was packed with people. It was such a cool atmosphere with people rooting for their country. The rest of the night, us Americans poked fun at Britons and vice versa. Then we made it to karaoke night. I got dragged on stage, don't ask what I sang because I don't remember. Thank goodness. Needless to say, it was an awesome weekend. Sorry I have no pictures, my camera is broken...go figure. I'll figure something out.
