Translation

I sometimes think it really is too bad ballroom dancing has gone out of style. It looks like so much fun. Unfortunately, whenever I hear Antonio talk, I think of a cat wearing boots.

I've only danced the tango once, and I didn't know what I was doing.

Today I potted petunia's and a small palm. I fed the horses while Pedro cleaned the corral and I felt stupid because the only words I know in his language don't even begin to form a sentence. My inclination is to speak to him in French. Which doesn't help at all.

And somehow I don't think he'd get it if I yelled gleefully, "Estoy mucho lomo!"
