Almost 2 Weeks HERE?

How can the time have gotten away from us. When I think of the average vacation time for working people, maybe 2 or 3 weeks, and then back to the grind for 50 more- oh no.
Mike and I start to really unwind after 10 days and then settle into a relaxed, sort of hypnotic state. Do very little.
Today was a volcada lesson- the teacher broke it down into manageable tiny parts; when to push with the big toe, when to lift with a little forward motion. Next he added the circular motion and the sublte stepping and body rotation.
NEVER have I liked a volcada until today. Learning to keep the free leg FREE has been hard for me for years. Finally it feels detached - a pendulum? Now I am not TRYING to produce the motion.
As Hugo Daniel says, "Tango is like life. Some steps forward, some back and many to the side." My greatest wish today is that Alberto Paz will read this and smile.
