Day 86: Dancing with Diplomats

The highlight of my day today was dance class. My husband is teaching a short ballroom course to folks at the Embassy in preparation for an upcoming event. We meet after work and dance in the atrium. I've taken classes before -- and Uli and I have done a lot of dancing -- but this lighthearted finish to the working day leaves me with a smile each and every week. Perhaps it is because the last two weeks have been spent dashing around working on last-minute projects as our fiscal year winds down. Perhaps it is just because it is a bit of good-spirited fun. Who know that dancing with diplomats would be the best part of some days?
