Summer, Sun and Salsa

Lots of things happened in the last couple of weeks, however we still managed to recover from all the stress around Marc's operation. Originally I had planned to go on a one week holiday with my mum, the children and a friend of mine as well as her son Simon and her mum on Saturday after Marc's operation. With all the excitement and uncertainty the few days beforehand we didn't know whether we could leave to Lignano, Italy, or not. After Marc had another check in the hospital on Saturday morning, we decided to go. The doctor agreed as long as we would come back for another check one week later. Therefore we had to cut the holiday one day short. My friend Verena and her son Simon were very pleased that we could join them. Lignano is a very popular tourist destination for Austrians. The reason is because it is situated on the sea and in very short driving distance from Austria (4 1/2 hours from Salzburg). The main language spoken in restaurants, shops and coffee bars is German - quite sad in a way. None the less we had a really nice time on the beach and in the sea. Hanna was busy playing and fighting :-) with her friend Simon and I was busy with treating Marc's cut the way the doctors ordered. This made the holiday a bit less relaxing as I had wanted it to be! However it was still a great week!

Another highlight in May was a two hours Salsa workshop or lets rather say a Salsa "Crash Course": This dancing workshop was a birthday present from one of my friends. She had everything organized: a babysitter for the time of the workshop and even a 'replacement' for Richard just in case he wasn't keen on doing the course with me. Richard decided he wanted to join me. We had a really nice time although things could have gone a bit slower for us. We managed to follow everything quite well for the first hour but after that we struggled a bit to say the very least :-). I guess we need a refresher course soon - we will see whether I can Richard to do one with me!

Well, that's that for the moment!
Have a great week!
