Un día con los salseros

Sunday was a day to remember! Together with meine Freundin Ramona and a friend of hers from home, Andi, I was invited to Jose's for lunch. Jose is from Venezuela and wanted to cook traditional Venezuelan lunch for us.
Ramona, Andi and Jose all know each other because of their passion for salsa. Salsa is their life! So when we had enjoyed Jose's arepas, plátanos machos con queso, and perico, the table was moved and the dancing (in my case; lessons) started. A Cuba Libre helped the stiff and cold Norwegian to loosen up and work those hips, and I learned the basics of Salsa, Bachata and Merengue.

Por la noche fuimos a bailar en los clubes en la playa. They play salsa music every Sunday and people of all ages (and nationalities?) come to bailar toda la noche! One more beer and some warming up was all I needed to let myself go and enjoy the rythms of salsa, bachata and merengue, - no chachacha yet ;) The pictures can tell you the rest.










The two ladies wouldn't believe that Andi and Ramona are in fact German.
