Sun 11/19: Bike ride in Oakland hills, @Home salsa practice
We had a longer ride in the Oakland hills today. I was on Jen's Masi 2 chainring road bike. I was more comfortable on this ride because I was wearing less - even in November it is quite hot when climbing. I was wearing just a tank top and shorts. Also, I put my vest on the handlebars to cushion my hands since I don't have riding gloves.
Jen have started practicing salsa at her apartment as well. I downloaded some excellent podcasts from http://www.addicted2salsa.com for us to use in our practice. Fortunately, she has a hardwood floor.

11-15 Wed: ucbd.org Salsa Class @ UC Berkeley
We took a salsa class (not the same venue or series as the one at Allegro Ballroom last week) at 19:30 tonight at Hearst Gym UC Berkeley. It was $7 per person for non-students ($5 for students). We learned some good moves; unfortunately we pushed ourselves a bit hard earlier with bike riding and Jen got a bit sick from sardines she ate and me twirling her around. But it was worth it even though we didn't participate in the class for the whole 90 minutes and left a bit early.

Thu 11/09 Salsa @ Allegro Ballroom
Garry & Viola instruct Jen & me in basic salsa moves at Allegro Ballroom ($12/person, may attend both beginner lesson at 19:00 and intermediate lesson at 20:00, and dance at 21:00; 5855 Christie Ave Emeryville, CA 94608, 510-655-2888) near Jen's apartment. They were fairly advanced lessons, even the beginner lesson taught cross body lead, and the intermediate lesson had a lot of moves I'd never seen.
