“After A While”

My Spanish teacher and precious new friend shared this poem with me ..... I felt I needed to share it as well. I have met such wonderful people on this adventure and connected with some in a truly deep and profound way, but saying goodbye .... that … [Read more...]

¡Copello!

Last night I went to dance ..... it's often what I do here! My Spanish teacher invited me to see her Tango teachers perform at La Viruta and since she is more of a beginner at Tango than I am and needs some support and encouragement I was more than … [Read more...]
