Where's all the rum gone???

Days go by and we're still in Popayan. We just can't escape it. If we're already starting like this, I won't have time to see not even half the places I have in mind.

Last night we went out for a few beers. Myself, P., Camilo our couchsurfing host for our first days here and Emma our current host. We went to village Patojo, which is a micrography of the center of the city. Something around the lines of "honey, I shrunk the city" sort of speak...

There happened to be a bit of a fest there, the guys found some friends of theirs and we started drinking for free. The whole rumble ends, the alcohol also runs out and after having sat around talking crap, we thought we'd set off home. However, no more than 50 meters away, the guys found more friends of their who had several bottles of rum in their possession.

- "Drink up guys" they kept saying.
- "Ok, we might as well. We wouldn't want to offend you" we kept saying.
- "All the rum's gone" they said.
- "Well, we'll just head home" we said (about 2am by that point)
- "Nonsense. We'll go to my place, there's more rum there. Get in the car" says one of the girls.
- "But it's 10 of us all together! And one of your guys is throwing his guts up! How are we gonna fit?" we said.
- "Just get in, will ya?" they insisted.

So out of nowhere, I ended up in a car with my three friends and six other random people, the one of which that was throwing up got shoved in the back seat, under a couple of others and one could say he was struggling.

Dancing, rum (eat up your beard captain Jack Sparrow), foolishness, complaints by the neighbors (around 40-odd the owner of the apartment and leader of the party), drunks falling apart, salsa lessons, olives, mango fruit... I guess they're right. Five Colombians in the same room turn it inevitably into a party.

Fix the background of your blog please...i cant see any image. Is just a dark red and is impossible to read the black text over the dark red.

Ah! And can you set the RSS to send the whole post instead of just the first 4 lines? Thankss

Ya los pasé. Y recibí el mio. hehe

Pakito, the background is not dark red. Don't know what it is you are looking at. As for the RSS... I'll think about it. You know I don't like RSS. :p

The background is totally dark red! If you made the words white that'd be enough.

Sounds like you're having a great adventure! I enjoy hearing your tales. :)

I'm sorry about this guys. I don't know why it happens. This is the first blog entry for which this has been reported and I still have not seen it ever from my side...
