Long Weekends
Hi all,
Well, it's official! We've hit November and you know what that means! (well, actually you don't).
IT'S LONG WEEKEND MONTH!
Yup, that's right! This weekend was a long weekend. So is next weekend. We also get a four day weekend for American Thanksgiving. I don't feel like a teacher so much as some guy who lives in Colombia.
This weekend was getting all the work done so I can do a bit of travelling later on in the month. Next weekend is a trip to the Island of Gorgona which is off the west coast of Colombia. It's a small island and a nature preserve so you need special permission from the government to go there.... I can't wait! It's an 8 hour boat ride there but they have monkeys and a prison museum (think Alcatraz) so it's basically going to be the best thing ever.
At Thanksgiving it currently looks like Jordan and I will be meeting up with my dear friend Jackie Zwambag (she was Con-Ed president the year I was VP and we go WAAYYY back as amazing friends) and going to the Island of San Andreas. No monkeys, or prison museums.... It's more of a 'lay on the beach' type of place from what I hear but that can be fun too.
So this weekend Jordan and I were making dinner and our neighbor next door, Andres knocked on the door and wandered in started hanging out as he is known to do. His girlfriend came over too and soon after our neighbours Kate and Tim (other import teachers) saw that we 'had people over' from their vantage across the way and came over with Aguardiente (the Colombian drink of choice). Well, we were going to a movie with Jordan's girlfriend and another friend from school so we had to take off but we told them just to lock the door on their way out. When we returned 2.5 hours later we found not only them but some of our other neighbours sitting on the balcony having a party. Apparently our other neighbours Scott and Sonia had been trying to sleep but couldn't because of the loud music coming from 'our house' so they just decided to join up. ..... Whew! Well we love having people over so it's actually nice to come home and find people already having a good time. It saves you from having to go somewhere else.
