Dé hAoine: Ceol
First we started off with some wonderful music by accomplished musicians:
Dé Sathairn: Fire Eating
During one of our well-deserved breaks, I saw this fire-eating team along State Street in Madison:
Dé Sathairn: Damhsa
We had a wonderful gal from Ireland (Máirín? Sorry, I'm terrible with names!) start us off with a simple "shuffle-shuffle-step" which quickly went beyond all our abilities as the pace of the music quickly went beyond the pace of many of our middle-aged bodies' ability to cope! :-) Without exception, though, everyone had a grand, sweaty old time!
We even got Eoin (John) and Erik to dance. Life those legs, boys!
The room went from cold and sterile to hot 'n' sweaty in no time, as everyone had a really great time!
