Steps 4 & 8 are "Silent"


On Brian's last night here (Saturday) we went with the whole family to County Line BBQ, which is an Austin favorite. Even my Dad ate his meal without wiping his mouth! Ribs, pork, smoked chicken, etc. You cannot purchase a single 'green' item from the menu. (Seriously.) They also make delicious homemade wheat and white bread. After dinner, Rod and I took Brian out downtown so he could experience a little bit of Austin's famous Sixth St. We started with salsa dance lessons at Copa from 9-10 PM. You get to rotate dance partners pretty regularly, but Brian and I ended up as partners during the merengue (SP?). Salsa was a little trickier than merengue. As the instructors kept reminding us, salsa is an 8-count dance, which gets confusing because steps 4 & 8 are "silent." Once you realize that it gets easier. After lessons and a little bit of dancing at the club, we walked around Sixth St, heading home around midnight.

The dancing definitely sounds like fun, I would love to do that sometime when we visit Austin if it worked out!
