Goddaughter Michaela Mae "Sunny" Powers and I adventured across the Canadian border Saturday, to see our Finnish friend, Outi Luukkainen-Markkula, dance. Part of the official dance troupe representing Finland at the World Culture Dance Festival outside of Montreal, Outi danced and jumped and flew and twirled across the giant stage with skill and grace. We can see a career in dance is well within her grasp.Prior to the festival, we dined at Maria's, Outi's first Mexican restaurant. She and Michaela split spicy chicken and rice, baked in chocolate sauce. Lunch was followed by Indian Mango Smoothies.
With food and dancers from all over the world, we enjoyed experiencing a day of international friendship and celebration. Wouldn't it be nice if such cooperation and joy appeared around the planet? Shall we all dance, and practice peace?
