In more ways than one, I may add...

According to the thermometer in our car it was 100 F by noon, and a toasty 109 F by 4:00pm. I took 2 workshops today and that didn't make things any easier heat-wise.

I mean, I am a freaking Puerto Rican and my skin was RED! The last time I felt this hot was when I went to Australia - where the ozone hole is pretty much on top of your head.

On the bright side, workshops were awesome. First one was Shakra, the one I probably was expecting the most as I fell in love with them at first sight last year. I still in love. I got quite a few cool moves that I am planning to incorporate in a choreography I have been working on. The secon was with Kajira... Enough said ;) :)I am sorry that I have this tendonitis thing in my hand. Kajira was usingg a lot of arms and when I keep my hand up for too long the nerve bothers me. Of course, floreos are out of order. But when I just couldn't do it anymore I took notes. You always learn and I would say I did 75% of the workshop. I did some zills, probably a mistake but I SO need to practice those so there...

At night we watched "Underbelly" a bellydance documentary featuring Princess Farhana. I met her today (even I really didn't introduce myself properly) and gee... She is so fun, and nice! Then finally came back to the hotel and took a NICE shower to watch the news and see that California Supreme Court lifted the ban for gay marriage. I am not gay, but (especially through bellydancing) I met lovely couples so in love that happens to be same-sex couples. But they love each other so much! Why they can't have the same rights to celebrate love the same way I do? I thing there's a LOT to celebrate!

Also, please... Bring some ice cream...
