I suggest starting this weekend with a peaceful stroll through the art exhibit at the Mosesian Center that ends this Friday. It is showing the art of their teachers as well as their students, and there are some beautiful pieces on exhibit. Then, Saturday, take any 4-10 year olds to the library to see a martial arts display to motivate them to get out explore the physical arts. In the afternoon, you and your honey (or your friend) can learn how to connect in healthier ways in the Art of Receiving and Giving workshop. Once you are in better sync with each other, head to Olespana for a fun night of dancing to international music while you eat some gambas al ajillo (shrimp with garlic). If you haven’t danced your legs off completely, maybe you have the energy left for a Sunday afternoon of pick-up baseball.
