Almost there
So Ill start with the awesome day i had before I left for Peru... it had worked out perfectly that some new york friends (james and samina) and oregon folk (kurt) were in town, and others (michael, britta, cassanna, brentt) managed to take the day off to celebrate my last day here... the theme of the day was doing something you or someone else had not done before and everyone has to participate... we started the early afternoon downtown riding the metro! ... some of us already a bit buzzed off of some vodka tonics... =) then we went to the griffith observatory to walk around before heading off to a nice long parking lot where i was taught to drive stick... i must say (and others will agree!) that i learned pretty quickly and im quite good despite having odds stacked against me (being an asian woman---- just kidding!!!!) anyway, i got to 4th gear and was doing pretty good.. i did stall once though... then we went back to michael's house to prepare for my going away shindig... i was pretty heartwarmed by the folks who showed up.. =) it was quite a spectacular evening for me to have everyone there (alot of people who didn't know each other).. britta concocked (sp?) raver-ades... charades where you guess what sort of (electronic music) dancing we're 'making fun of'... =) they were mostly our own moves.. but pretty much everyone guessed what sort of thing it was... (washing machine, zombie, washing the car, etc)... i received some wonderful parting gifts.. like a photo album that has been awesome in so many ways (relief of homesickness and its useful for conversation when you have limited knowledge of the language), a journal, photo album... disk with pictures from my last day and the party (talk about instant!!) anyway, i had to leave the party at 11... mom took me to the airport and brentt, cassanna and michael caravanned along... it was a bit of a sad gbye ...
