Dancing and Slack Lining

So Friday night was Latin Dance night at the campus bar, which is really a big venue where the campus has alot of events!  I was really excited about it, but I only brought one set of heels, which are black and make me probably 3 inches taller.  Which means I was taller then most of my potential dance partners.  I know how to salsa, and I love to dance so I tried to teach my german roommate Steffen and his friend Mike....  They tried but never got the hang of it.  They were sports and danced with me for a little bit. 
Im in the picture... can you find me? You can only really see my hair!

 However they couldent keep up so they gave up.  The whole experience was very funny!  We ended up leaving an hour after we got there cause we were all quite bored.  I was too tall, and I didnt really know that many people, so I didnt dance much :(  

On Saturday I went slack lining with about 10 others.  My Aussie neighbor Justin is very active, and is interested in all kinds of activities.  So he took about 10 of us to a nearby park to go slack lining!  

If you dont know what Slack Lining is, it is when you take a line which is about an inch thick and tie it between two trees about waist height off the ground, then you get on and try to walk on it.  

Its a really good exercise in balance!  I fell off quite a few times, but I had a great time!

I'm so happy you're doing so many activities! I'm sure you'll find an uber-tall dancing partner who can sweep you off your feet in no time ;)
