International Travel 101...

Since I haven't been putting the ¨party pictures¨ up, I thought this particular party would be a good start. Two of the teachers at Maximo finished their contracts in March, so they threw a going away party at one of the Spanish teacher's restuarants in San Blas. It was themed: Dress as a Crazy Peruvian! So I went out and got this fabulous neon blue skirt with sky blue embroidery, and I'm slightly pissed it did not make it into any of the photos, but don't worry. When I show up in the states I WILL be wearing that bad boy on the regular. So, anyway, with that skirt, bombass tights (from the God of department stores) and that awesome strand of dyed llama fur, I represented.
Above: My friend Shannon, who volunteers for Maximo; and Owen, the tutor for Maximo.
Below: Shannon again, and Gabe, who was my TEFL training roomate and current coworker, and Montse, a fellow Maximo teacher.

Above: Nilten, Montse's boyfriend and my tandem partner (we practice Spanish and English together) Vaila, one of the teacher's leaving, Sally, a fellow teacher, and Amanda, a roomate and fellow teacher. I have no clue who that guy who's sticking his head into the photo is, and am curious as to why he is in the picture....

Below: Owen and I did a trade off, that mask was wicked hot. His sister who was visiting is wearing a llama fur hat that I totally want!

I just really like this picture.
