salsa cruise

On Friday night Edwin and I went on a Salsa cruise around the Boston Harbor. Edwin had seen it advertised somewhere, and it was a great idea. 25 bucks each bought us dinner, a 3 hour harbor cruise and some great music! Before we got on the boat, though, we had to brush up on our salsa moves. Turns out the salsa lesson was on the pier in front of a crowded outdoor restaurant. Awesome. Our teacher was a tall woman in a short dress who loooved the attention of passerby's. We had a good time, drew some amused looks, and learned the basics. When we got on the boat we had a great meal- including rice & beans, plantains and different kinds of meat. After eating, we put on our dancin' shoes and got to it.

The boat had 3 levels- the top level was low-key and meant for people who wanted a break from the dancing. The middle level was the salsa/Latin music level, and the lower level was like a club. We stayed in the middle. In between dances we took in the beautiful views of the Boston Harbor. I hadn't realized that the skyline was situated on the waterfront- it's gorgeous!

Our East Coast adventure is coming to a close (we're in the airport now)... but we still haven't finished documenting our stories from Boston! Stay tuned!
