After lunch I got my 2hr, which was a lovely way to spend an afternoon. Then we had graduation. There were lots of people finishing there courses today so it was a special occasion. We had cake and ice-cream with sticky rice, which was fab. Took lots of pics of the various people but I won't bother posting them here as I don't know a lot of them that well.
After school we decided to meet up at the salsa kitchen (where I ate yesterday) for some food and then onto a bar or two. I got there first (as always) and managed to grab what I thought was a large table, however I hadn't quite banked on how many people were going to come
And more people eating...
. We ended up with about 3 tables full of us, must have been about 20 or so, which was lovely. I had a great Vegetarian Roti, which is potato curry in a thin bread parcel, it came served with corn on the cob, potato salad, pineapple chutney and rice, oh yes and a hot sauce that I couldn't even touch! It was all great and I downed copious amounts of sangria :-)We then hit the reggae bar next door. The music was great and it wasn't long before we started dancing. I always love the way that dancing brings people out, those that are normally quite and reserved start dancing and you see them open up and let it all flow, it's beautiful. Needless to say I danced all night, only stopping when the band stopped at about midnight. I lose track of time when I'm dancing but one of the other girls said it was 4hrs non-stop, which I could believe :-) Still I had a fab night and managed to dance with just about everyone at some time.
I then got a tuk tuk back with a cool rasta driver :-) Bit of an expensive evening as we bought pitchers of sangria which were 299B each, not that expensive but I did just go over my budget today. Oh well, I've been running under most of the time so I've got some slack.
Jennifer and Angie are moving into my guesthouse which is really nice, so even though they have finished at the school I should still see them and spend some time together, which will be lovely. Anyway, need sleep. Got a yoga class in the morning run by Dana, the cool hippy girl here who I think is as close to an idol for me as anyone could be :-)
