Salsa!

We had a nice weekend.  We really enjoyed the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics.  My favorite parts were David Beckham bringing the torch in a speedboat up the Thames, the Queen and James Bond (Daniel Craig) parachuting into the stadium and the cool way the torch was lit.  The fireworks were spectacular, too.  Well done London!  On Sunday, Jeff and I went down to Chris and Liz's and we all went to the Oxnard Salsa Festival.  Besides a lot of arts and crafts type booths, they have a big tent with many local restaurants offering their salsas.  You pay $5.00 and they give you a bag of chips and a bunch of tickets to sample the salsas.  There was also guacamole and interesting things like strawberry salsa.  There was music and dancing, too.  Speaking of dancing, did you hear about the new cast for the All-Star version of Dancing with the Stars?  The contestants are:   Kirstie Alley, Pamela Anderson, Helio Castroneves, Joey Fatone, Shawn Johnson, Drew Lachey, Gilles Marini, Kelly Monaco, Apolo Anton Ohno, Bristol Palin, Melissa Rycroft and Emmitt Smith.  One more contestant will be voted by the viewers.  You choose between Carson Kressley, Sabrina Bryan and Kyle Massey.  I'm happiest about Gille Marini!
