McDo's and Salsa

Yesterday night Hannah and I decided to splurge: we went to McDonald's (called McDo here). In America, McDo's is a place you go when you are cheap and don't want to spend a lot of money. Here, it's more of a luxury.
They don't have normal coffee here. It's all espresso. For me, it was always a coffee and a muffin, but here it's a croissant and an espresso. Instead of fries, you can also get potato wedges (amazing!).
They also have machines with the entire menu that you can scan through. Then you pay for it, it prints out a ticket number, and you go to the counter and just pick everything up.

SALSA DANCING. I signed myself up, as well as another Czech au pair--Adelka--to take a 3 hour beginner course in salsa dancing! It was so fun! I definitely do not have a natural talent for dancing, but I can get by! Plus, it may have been easier if the directions were in English, but it wasn't...it was in French, so oh well.
There were about 20 guys and 25 girls. So we just routinely switched dancing with others. Oh my word though: the clammy hands of people. I washed my hands for 5 minutes after. But it was really fun just dancing in partners and trying to dance to the rhythm. Definitely something I would take a course in once a week just for fun!
After the course, Adelka and I sat in the parking lot, ate lunch, and talked for an hour and a half. It was a good Saturday. Productive, but not too productive <3

Bedroom window view today. Love the clouds here.
