I contacted the Marcaida Kali and made arrangements to visit in Rochester, NY so that I could sit in on a class and observe in person. I wanted to hear the words they used and watch how and understand technique so that I could write better.
I’m not the outdoorsy type. Don’t get me wrong—I love nature. I enjoy plants and flowers and fresh air. I especially love beaches. When Mark and I went to Scotland to visit the Isle of Skye, all I wanted to do was be outside, exploring waterfalls and standing in the shadows of mountains.
