Am sitting on my terace looking across the small pond at all the new apartment buildings that were recently built. We are in Florida, where the temperature is 95. For me, it’s fabulous. I’m not cold anymore!!!
Looking at the visual changes when we left last year, there was nothing there, but now this area has apartment buildings on it. When completed they will be yearly rentals At the moment, we only receive the dust of construction from the winds that coat all the exterior furniture and floors.

We have spent time in many cities, Ganges, White Rock, Bellingham, Marysville, Woodinville and Seattle eating in restaurants and catching up with family and friends. Its been a wonderful time. The selection of restaurants from a classic 70s dinner in Marysville to an elegant dinning room in Woodinville. Thai food, Vietnamese, Italian and American and of course we ordered take out too. Am glad we will have the chance to cook a little while we live in Florida.

Looking back, we danced tango quite a bit in Seattle. We kept seeing faces that looked familiar, but there was no sign of recognition on their faces, only the perpetual look of a dancer wanting a cabeceo. Of course, there were a few notable exceptions where we were welcomed back with a warm abrazo and many questions. How is Argentina? How long are you staying? And where are you going next?

Dancing was wonderful in Seattle in the Seattle manner, aloofness sprinkled with a bit of interest, maybe a little kindness too.
Embraces ran the gambit from warm to cold. There is in Seattle the consistency of coldness and a lack of curiosity. Maybe that day everyone needed another cup of coffee as it was cold. 44 degrees and cloudy. It’s almost rainy but sometimes rather misty.

Now, after spending about 4 weeks in the Pacific Northwest, being very cold, I am enjoying the Florida heat. [Yes I am officially a weather wimp!] Currently, its 91 which also means the humidity is high. So forget about styling your hair. It will always stay frizzy and curly here. It’s the humidity.
This weekend was Memorial Day weekend, so lots of festivals going on, and the opportunity for dancing is incredible from Seattle to Delray Beach.
After a few days of resting up, catching up on the dirty laundry, and grocery shopping, it will be time to dance tango once again.
