Whoa - I only had one glass of wine - honestly

I was so eager to post the photos last night that I didn't prove read what I had just written. It should have read "I have just returned to my room"

So just a little blog today. We have just had the last sessions of the conference - it has been action packed since Friday night. We had workshops on Friday, all day Saturday, the dance last night and workshops this morning and two panel discussions this afternoon. Some of the workshops included a bit of dancing, but mostly listening to presentations, but so good. So much information and so good to hear what's going on in the wider dancing world.

And last nights dance was fabulous. Felt so strange to be surrounded by Scottish Country Dancers who spoke with all sorts of accents, and lots of them not being able to even speak English. A huge contingent came from Italy to join us for the night - All the men wearing loads of tartan - some very formally dressed, others wearing tartan sashes or jackets, and all of the ladies in white frocks with sashes. What a fantastic sight - as the photos I posted last night show.

Now I know where all the men were while was cycling round Italy - they were practicing the dances on the programme - but I did manage to get a photo with a handful of them. They were so lovely, some very good dancers. The man in the bottom photo is Fabio, the man I had been in contact with before coming to Italy - he runs the classes around the place and does all the 18th Century dancing.

And I managed to catch Katrina's brother in one photo as well - we had planned to have a photo together but the night was so busy we weren't on the same side of the hall at the same time.

Anyway, one last night here - I'm going out for dinner with some friends from Australia, and then will spend the day in Geneva tomorrow, and then folks - it's all over. I'm on the plane tomorrow night and before I know it this wonderful holiday will just be a memory.

How quickly it has gone.
But what a lot of memories I have, and loads and loads of photos.

So guys, see you all soon.
Ciao.
