This weekend, for December's event, we hosted a Champagne Party in our apartment. The ladies decorated the apartment in with burning candles, wine and champagne bottles with flowers, light finger foods across the apartment, strawberries for the campagne and a fire out in the back yard. That's right kids, we do have some class.
A few of the 50 us who were there brought out our Sunday best, rocking ties, some ladies in dresses and heels. Though not a terribly great feet, this is probably one of three times I have found reason to wear a tie in my 16 months in Guatemala. So didn't require everyone to rock it though, as we didn't want to invite accusations of being super fresa. We are trying to maintain our credibility it our Guatemalan homies out here.
Picture from the festivities are pending. The only things of particular note is that the party also served as a surprise despedida for a friend who is ending close to three years in Guatemala. Que le vaya bien... That, and the other wonderful find that someone decided to make use of stray sock once they apparently realized that we had run out of toilet paper. One of the wonder gifts you can always count on running across the day after hosting a get together. Nice.
Lastly, today marks 16 months of my search to become increasingly Chapin.
