A Nice Tuesday Night.

It started out to be such a nice day. I thought of Marie who made my living here in Nanakuli so much more possible. I had almost left for the Philippines and I could be living there now just as well, but I would have lost all my good friends on Oahu. Not to mention the many good people I have met since then.

But now the day was just coming to a close as I got ready to leave. It was almost seven o'clock, when I got downstairs with the bike. Riding over to the bus stop, the scene was turning dark, the street and shopping center lights were on and it was night time.

How ever, at the bus stop, I could still look toward the ocean and see where the sunset had been and the beautiful colors that were still there to enjoy. The scenery changes every day. Can anyone living on this Waianae Coast ask for more than these beautiful landscapes?

Got the bike on the C bus and away I go. Got the CD player going and my music is just fine. By then I realized that I forgot the camera. The trip to town was over in no time and I get to the Cupola a little after eight. And the place was jumping.

Got my Rum & Coke and went into the area. Met up with my good friend Wes and he said he would get me a Rum & Coke from Marie. I told him I forgot my camera. And got a chance to stand back and look over the territory.

I then told Marie that I forgot the camera and she took it upon herself to take pictures all over. From what I could see she was taking some goods pics and I asked her to email me the photos. But she gave the memory card to Jesse and he took a little while to figure it out. So I just got them and I will put in whatever and wherever I can.

Such a nice group of people, only a couple of the Creative Researchers And Producers which shows promise. I will try to get more of our good "social" dancers there to make it a real fun affair.

I heard "Detalles" which I had not ever heard in Hawaii until now by Lucas. One of my favorites from way back. The words "Acordarte de mi." still linger after all these years. Jesse holding up his part very well.

Yanna had her mini lesson and plenty of the dancers joined. It was very nice with moving patterns instead of foot patterns.

Every one seemed to be having a ball. And I even saw a samba Rueda dance for fun and exhibition. They made mistakes? So what, they are having fun and the viewers are having fun watching too. Please don't knock me on my fun, Rootzi Tootzis, and just leave quietly.

I had a nice Cha Cha Cha with Marie and tried one of the Nicaraguan dance patterns and she went for it like a native. I asked her, "What part of Nicaragua you from? But then I have always insisted that as a rule, the ladies are much better dancers than the men.

After the dance a little feed among friends is justifiable.

Later on I danced a Rumba with Maria Handl with Mambo steps and she is very good student as we all know. I tried a Nicaraguan movement and she went for it same as Marie. These ladies can follow just beautiful. Some people do not know that there are over 600 documented patterns in Rumba and Cha Cha Cha. Now someone is going to tell me which is right. Ha!

How about dancing on the one or two or even three? We will cover it a little later.
