My sister came to visit from Dublin this weekend, with her husband, and one of their friends came as well. :)
I was not really in a rush to leave the house and go out at first-happy that I did in the end though. Ended up walking around Cork, visiting a few places, as well as watching some spanish dancing over at the Opera house.
Quite interesting to watch, though it seemed like the men were doing most of the dancing then any of the women. Then again there was only ones dancing seemed to be one lady and two men. The men- back straight, feet firmly stomping to certain beats. The one lady looked like she was just flying all around the place-in a rather elegant manner really. They all stomped their feet firmly onto the ground, backs stiff and straight, but their arms and hands-just the movements. Flowing through the air in graceful manners-totally opposite to their feet.
My favorite part of the entire show was when the head guitarist was sitting on his own in the middle of the stage and just went through one solo after another. Have to say, the music took more of my breath away then any of the dancing did. Still very good though, would love to go again if they're around next year.
The weekend was quite fun actually, great chance to destress and just enjoy everyone's company. Week's starting though, so its back to business as usual on Tuesday.
