Tonight, Monday, we had a double birthday party: Adam celebrates his birthday on Thursday, April 11 (the day we leave for the mountain) and Teresa celebrates her birthday on Friday, April 12 (the day we climb the mountain). As such, it will be difficult to have birthday parties later on so we partied it up tonight.
The girls were in charge of planning the party (without Teresa) and boy did they plan a fiesta! It started with a dressing up theme of "bright colours" and this crew took those simple instructions to new heights! The outfits some folks came up with were just plain hilarious. The party began with a dance party where Elliot kind of stole the show. Then the games began and boy were they entertaining. For the first one both Adam and Teresa were blindfolded. The girls had tied two donuts to a string and the string to a moving ceiling fan. Adam and Teresa needed to eat a flying donut, blindfolded. Entertaining doesn't begin to describe this!
Following this game the girls had bought a plethora of gross things for them to both eat in a competition: olives, sardines, tuna and octopus to name a few. The process was quite entertaining as both Adam and Teresa ate everything that was placed in front of them...the things people will do for the name of competition :D
The party was a riot. We had boatloads of locals peering through the windows to watch and some were even knocking on the door for us to open it so they could see. As we entered the party in our bright-coloured garb some of the ladies were legitimately crying because they were laughing so hard at our outfits. Oh what fun we had! Happy birthday Adam and Teresa!
Hopefully pics will be posted soon.
