a ceilidh, chocolate cake, and shisha

I know, random outing for a Friday night in Leeds, but it was done!!! The ceilidh (pronounced kaley), an Irish dance/music extravaganza one could say, was good fun! There was a lively band, an older man singing songs as well as teaching dances, and of course food and drinks--that's where the chocolate cake comes in. It looks at bit like a very peppy line dance, where there was a lot of swinging of the partners and holding hands while jumping around. Good idea for a first date! ;) Except that weird girl that didn't speak to her date at the last ceilidh I went to!! hahaha, Chloe knows what I"m talking about if you're reading this! You really work up a sweat, and you also can't help but laugh b/c you look quite ridiculous bobbing around making so many mistakes! The Catholic society put it on, and the perfect amount of people showed up for the size of the "dance floor."

After the ceilidh we went to a shisha cafe called L'oragnise. It felt like I was onthe Aladin film set--exotic fabrics and pillows, lamps, candles, Middle Eastern artwork etc. Shisha is flavoured tobacco you smoke (but not inhale....kind of like a cigar) through a tube connected to this tall lamp type thing. Sorry no pics. It really did taste like apple! And after a long, invigorating walk home I slept like a baby to end my fabulous night! :D
