Swing Dancing with Katie

After snorkeling on Wednesday (3/16) we drove into the city center and had a delicious dinner of organic pizzas. Jon and Katie said it was one of their favorite pizza places and most people know that I am a sucker for pizza. It fit.

I do not usually jump on the "organic" food band-wagon. It has never really mattered to me. I did not grow up with a particularly refined palette and I ate mostly rubbish food while at University. So the idea of indulging in an expensive, organic meal does not usually sit well with me. The pizzas were actually quite good though (surprisingly good). The were loaded with unique ingredients and quality cheese. We ordered three small ones (about 9 inches across) and shared between us. Was it the organic part that made them good? I am not sure. But I really liked them! I would still be quite happy with a $5 "Hot 'n Ready" from Little Ceasar's though...

After dinner we drove to the Adelaide Casino. Up to this point, I had very much missed swing dancing back in Hillsdale. One night a few weeks ago, I decided to see if I could discover any swing clubs that met in the big city of Adelaide. I found one that met on Wednesday nights at the Casino to coincide with a big band which played in the bar there. Katie had never danced before and wanted to learn so she volunteered to accompany me. So we had a good adventure, finding the band, noticing there weren't many people dancing, and in the actual learning process. Katie is a natural, actually. We had a blast. I was sad that the supposed club which met there wasn't present. There were a few Uni students and a couple of old, casino-goers dancing, but not nearly the "scene" I had hoped there would be. That is alright though. Katie and I had fun and she said she would love to go again.

After dancing, we caught the bus home and my very long day of bargain buying, snorkeling, and dancing was complete.

In Christ,

Chris
