day 14

february 8, 2014

noon:

the party last night was spectacular. there were margaritas and a pinata and tons of good food!
today we slept in, and are chilling out in the shade at the o.o. it's a beautiful day. we're heading to zipolite soon, but are in no rush. i think we'll leave in the morning. it's likely to be a full day drive there, so we'll start nice and early.

skyhorse and the defiant, at the o.o.

the defiant, fluegelwieadler.ch, carpe viam and straight six straight south all packed in

it was a full house!

i just made lunch, tortillas with refried beans and some of that stringy cheese (which it turns out is goat cheese! win!) and avocado on top. so tasty. i also chatted with my dad for the first time today since i left, and he's very jealous of all the fun we're having. i can't blame him, i'd be jealous of me too!

toby (of carpe viam) has helped me out with the gina maps situation, and we're making progress, i'm just waiting on some files, now. hopefully we can get that dealt with while we're here at the o.o., but if not, it'll work out :)

6 pm:

today has been the ultimate lazy day here at the o.o. i have had two smoothies (one breakfast, one with rum), and read a bunch of 'heir to the empire'. it's a bit windy here today, and has chilled to a balmy 26 degrees.

the files for gina are still downloading, hopefully we'll be able to install them tonight!

10 pm:

we are about to watch an episode of firefly and go to bed.

there is a birthday party for a baby going on down the street, and i gotta tell you, i've never even had a birthday party this wild. there is music that sounds like it's halfway between russian drinking music and a mirachi band, and they've been going strong for hours. the only thing left to do is fireworks, which mexicans seem to celebrate every day with...
