Mo & Muay Thai

This week's been pretty low key, but I'm super excited for this weekend. Mike Mo's coming to visit from Dublin, and he's bringing three of his roommates with him. I can't wait to hang out with Mo, and take him out for a few nights in Galway. We're cooking them dinner tonight, then will head into town to find some good live music. Mary and I were thinking of taking them into the market on Saturday for lunch, and then I think we're going to take a bus tour to Connemara on Sunday. It should be a great weekend.

Earlier this week Mary, Lindsey, Brianna and I went to a Mauy Thai class. It had to have been one of the funniest things I've ever done. We wanted to get a decent workout, so we wanted to try it out. When we got there, we were shocked to see the "coach." He was this old guy with grey frizzy hair braided down his back, wearing a extremely tight "Muay Thai Club" t shirt....and very interesting shorts. They were extremely short and were blue with bright orange flames. Super sexy in my book. NOT. He was hilarious though, and took the class very seriously. Mauy Thai is kind of like kickboxing. We started off with a good cardio warm up, and then learned some fighting moves. Mary was my partner so obviously we were laughing the time. I think some of the serious Muay Thai'ers didn't appreciate our humor. After we got the moves down pat, we took turns hitting and kicking bags and pads. It was actually a pretty good workout and I think we're going to go back next week. And I'm going to try very hard to get one of those t shirts!

We also booked a flight to London!!! We're leaving February 11th and coming home the 14th. I'm so excited to take my first trip, and am hoping to be able to meet up with ReRe and Mikey. It's going to be a blast!
