Art Show!

Another day, another GD fiesta. This time, hosted by the Art Department, in their giant art warehouse. I was really looking forward to this night, since I've heard so many amazing things about people's entries for the show. It's just basically people, in their spare time, creating masterpieces. Whereas, I, in my spare time, do... not. There was everything from a loop of a video of a dog air-humping a bum :( , to beautiful paintings and sculptures. Some exhibits were interactive, some were really simple and lovely. I loved anything created out of the Nica nature, and dangit, the dog video was funny. You know what else was really awesome?

THE BIG FANS!

Tuesday night was the big night out in San Juan for the Independence Day celebration. Comando Tiburon were the band playing and it was fuuuuuun! Just one big massive dance party. They're a group from Panama, so the flags were out in full effect.

It was a slow day after for everyone, including yours truly. Wednesday the 15th, Survivor: Nicaragua premiered, and there was a little viewing party. I'm alllll, yaaa just one beer. Besides, I needed to get dinner. I'll watch the show and go home. Rrrriiiiight.
The party was fun. There were some superfans actually trying to listen to the show in a loud bar, shushing everyone. It's a whole different experience watching the show now, it's pretty neat! After the show, we were like, eeehhhh. Let's just grab some food at Iguana. You know how that goes.

THEN there was some birthday party happening, and at this point, I waved the white flag at my non bender effort. No go. Hit up the birthday party too. There were piñatas! With strap ons! And a pool! With people getting pushed in!

After a serious dance off to Lady Marmelade, Netty got pushed in the pool. Then all hell broke loose. I lost my gold earring but that's better than needing two stitches like that one dude. GTssss.

PS. Never even had dinner
PPS. I'm staying in tonight for sure.

Mooooooove

This was by FAR the funniest, most giggliest drive home of all time. Check out the massive parade of cows and horses coming at us, full ON!! Lulllz. Could.not.stop.laughing. There were so many, it was never ending. But the real question is, where's the party at cows? Do tell! We were clearly going in the wrong direction.

We had an Emmy party last night!! Jeff Probst won his 3rd in a row, and the Cinematography team also won. Really really exciting! Jeff made a sweet speech, then everyone got in line to take pics with the Emmy. I worked really hard for this award, you know? You better believe I took a photo.

The party was at Palermo, which is where I live. Always good news. Open bar, also good (?) news, and I got to chat with Jeff Probst for a little bit which was really fun. And yes dad, he remembers you :)

Remember These?!

Cheese and Crackers?! With the little red sticks!?

I totally had one today, and am hoarding another one for tomorrow. Couldn't believe my eyes.

The Circle of Rum

The sunset last night was so beautiful! Everytime I looked outside, the sky was a different color. Check out Jesus in the pink sky!

Then, it was piña colada time! Before we knew it, the lightning storm espectacular started-- wow, it was blinding at times. Can't tell you the last time I ever saw anything like that. The rain poured down, but that didn't stop anyone from cruisin the bars. After dinner, Netty & I took not 10 steps and came across some more crew amigos. Beer stop! Then we headed to Iguana's of course. I resisted, then caved. It was actually really chill and fun. Yay! It redemmed itself. Then I was convinced again to go another bar. You know how you start off saying you don't want a bender? Then you have one? Is that just me? Anyways, the last stop was one of those bars on the beach, that spills out onto the beach and is awesome. I couldn't possibly have more beer, so rum it was. I love me some full circle moments, and this was one of them. Once Single Ladies was over, it was time to hit the cama. Gooood tiiiiimes. GT's.
