9/13
So we are officially into our 2nd week here and Ramadan has started. I went to Mme. Hassan's this morning and was 10 minutes into my practice when I cut the padding on my big toe. I don’t know how it happened but it was pretty painful when a lot of the moves are on releve. When she came in to check on me I showed her my foot and she took me to the bathroom to wash it and gave me some socks to wear for the rest of the practice.
I still have a lot of “hardness” to work on. She often tells me that I’m too soft. So I worked on that for most of the lesson and she taught me another 30 seconds of the choreography. So after 6 lessons, I’m around 3 minutes into the 6 minute song. Hopefully that means I can finish it next week sometime and perfect it before we fly out. We’ve been here 8 of our 26 days now, so 18 left.
I think I’ll take a day off to go the Pyramids and a day to go to Alexandria maybe some time next week and the week after. I feel bad because I think my partner is a little bored. I’m so tired after rehearsing for 2-3 hours and we’re on vacation so I usually just feel like napping after the lesson. Plus, I don’t think my body has fully adjusted to the time difference. I don’t know why but for me 5-8 hours is always more difficult to adjust to than 10-12.
