Nelson and the Chan da Tanque crew invited the Education volunteers over for dinner and drinks to celebrate the end of model school. We ended up having to stay in the "city" pretty late so we decided to kill some time at Bar Z's. Shocker. Brian and David, two going on second year, volunteers ended up coming out also. We had meant to leave at 7, but ended up not leaving until closer to 8. Falling right into the laid back culture that Cabo Verde represents. After nearly being stranded in Assomada since the Hiace stops around 7, we ended up hitching a ride on the back of a water truck. I could not stop laughing the whole way. Andrew, Brett, and Adeyemi standing on the back of the truck, all of us holding on for dear life. And that was just the beginning of the night. Dinner was really fun. Who are we? Sitting around eating food, drinking wine, and just passeaing (definitely not spelled correctly). I definitely sat and talked to Nelson's "Mom" and "brother" for about an hour while just about everyone else was up on the roof. It was really fulfilling to be able to somewhat hold a conversation in Portuguese.
In response to Mike's question, "So tell me, how hairy are your pits?" I feel I should let you all know, so you can rest easy, as of now I'm still keeping em' smooth and clean shaven.
