Today has been a great day! We found out that Dan passed the Massachusetts Bar Exam! Unfortunately he the poor boy caught a cold and has spent the past few days lying on the couch snotting into tissues, but we'll celebrate proper once he gets over the sickness.
I also went to a Haitian folklore dance class today that was amazing. It was a special celebration for Gede so we all wore black, purple, and/or white and danced for an hour and a half straight. I am exhausted, but the dancing was a lot of fun. Afterwards Mignon and I went to talk to the instructor who is an incredibly sweet guy from Haiti. He was very welcoming and encouraging despite the fact I have no sense of rhythm. But even more exciting than putting up with my two left feet is that he is a Houngan (Vodou priest) and he invited us to a ceremony in a couple of weeks. We also met the manbo (priestess) who will be hosting the ceremony. Both of them were so kind and said they'd do an interview someday. I'm really excited to go to a ceremony in Boston!
