We just came back from a cooking tour with a local family at their home. And honestly it was the BEST food we ever had and we've been here for 3-4 days already.

They were so nice and we even cooked with them which was cool. They have a beautiful space to eat if you're with a bigger group. And before you start cooking, the son brings you to their garden so you can pick out the fresh veggies and herbs.

And after dinner we went back into their garden to see all the frogs. There was SO many even the infamous red eyed tree frog. They're so beautiful to see in the wild.

Seriously, DO NOT MISS this tour. The food was delicious it was their grandma's recipe, so you know it was good. I almost wanted to ask if I could take it back home to my Airbnb 😂😂

I was out having a majority surgery during the winter and recently was my first social back. I was nervous but I went back to classes because I felt rusty. I am on the newer side with only having a 1.5 under my belt.

I guess I don't know if this can be answered but when does it get easier? In the sense that it kinda freaks me out that I have no idea what a lead is going to do.

I feel slightly more comfortable in class cuz I know the routine of what we're learning. I want to be more comfortable and confident with letting a lead take me wherever they go.

And then my second part question is this particular social I felt a little defeated and only danced maybe 3x cuz everyone else seemed to be so much better than me.

One lead in particular, I told him I am a beginner and he didn't really listen and kept doing complicated moves where it was making me mess up often. It felt embarrassing rather than fun. Like idk how he wasn't able to see that I wasn't enjoying it. I was keeping up with it, or at least trying to. And then I got in my head that other leads weren't asking me to dance cuz they saw me messing up a lot on the dance floor.

That kinda thing happened twice with leads during this social and I didnt know how to approach that or handle it. It made me almost self conscious about dancing.

Any tips or thoughts?

You MUST book this cooking tour in La Fortuna! Seriously, do it now.

When does it get "easier"?
