Irish Dancing? "Miss Bolek, will you dance with us?" I was sitting in my office on a Friday afternoon, and my sixth grade class all came tumbling into my office... it turns out that they wanted to give me some Irish dance lessons! Please imagine this... a clumsy American without any rythm galloping up and down the gym to the beat of Irish music. I laughed, bumped into my students, and only managed to step on a few sixth grader's toes! It was great! Bratislava, TV- There is an amazing Christmas festival here in town. The town square is full of booths with Christmas crafts, food, and hot wine. Well, Lori and I were walking around and wanted to try some Langos- deep fried bread with cheese on top. I happily took a giant bite of Langos... the bread hanging out of my mouth, the cheese falling all over the place... as I took my bite I looked up to see a TV camera right in front of us! Yes, as if this wasn't bad enough... I started laughing and blew the cheese everywhere! My one chance at stardom, and I am seen feeding my face blowing cheese all over the place! Lori politely brushed me off and dug the cheese out of my scarf! Thanks Lor for putting me back together! Maybe next time Hollywood!
