CINCO DE MAYO













Our Host and Hostess for the much anticipated Cinco De Mayo party posing at the top of their wooden staircase located on every floor of their mansion seen here from just the right view.
Holy!!! Spoiled rich kids!!!
Drew and Sarah especially Sarah has been planning this party since last June I hear... so what a thrill for me to be invited and make the seven hour bus trip to Glodeni to see them, stay in their mansion break bread with their family and see the other volunteers in Glodeni which are in my group 19!!! Here is a shot of the field of rape oilseed which I viewed nearly the entire trip... it was actually neon!!!


Joe
started out the night by breaking in his brand new party apartment with a fresh pitcher of Sangria...Kelli made mojitos and of course true to form, I drank coca cola!!! The food was OUTSTANDING!!! Guacamole, Salsa, Tacos, Potato Skins, Bean Salad all the favorites and just like you'd get back home!!!
We ate and ate and then even broke a pinata before turning on the dance tunes and partying in the apartment for the rest of the nite.



Drew and Jake get it on late in the night...






Here are the three Group 19's representing.. Charlie, Me and Joe.. Charlie and Joe live in Glodeni.


Here are the 18's mostly teachers.. with whom I've had the pleasure of gettin to know through my association with Drew and Sarah..
Nina, Jessica, Drew, Sarah,Abigail, Sophia, Jake and Kelli.


It being Abigail's
birthday she brought a cake and ice cream so we enjoyed some dessert late into the night and gave her a rousing round of Happy Birthday in many languages !!

On the bus trip home I was delayed nearly an hour and a half as a tractor/trailer had somehow gotten stuck across the entire road making it impassable for our bus... There were police cars allowing vehicles around, but no room for our bus!!!
I watched as they borrowed a shovel from the villagers and started digging and digging and digging... thankfully someone called another truck in and finally they pulled it out with cables and we were on our way.Caused quite a stir!!!
