#11 Go to a cultural event (one you don't normally do)

On Saturday, May 10, I dragged David to a very special cultural event at American University. My co-worker Kristina had invited us to a recital from her dance studio which would feature 150 dancers. And not just any kind of dancers. BELLY dancers!

The performance was fun to watch, but after awhile, we both had had a bit too much visual stimulation. I didn't know where to look! But the best part was, all shapes and sizes can belly dance, and, in fact, the rounder your belly, the better you can shake it! I loved the celebration of women's bodies and all their different shapes and sizes.

Another accomplishment from the evening, though not part of the 30 things list, was that David and I managed to run across the street and order dinner from McDonald's, eat it, and make it back into the show before the end of intermission.
