Pictures from our Despedida

It's that time... we're going back Stateside. So what else to do than throw a party?  Activity list and pictures, note only the food was planned ha.  A huge thanks to everyone who made this possible (Carlos, Christina, Jillian, Omar) and came out to have a great time : )

--> Tabu (Taboo, in Spanish!)  Fantastic party starter

--> Food- American home-made hot dogs, pasta salad, guac, and chorizo

--> Salsa and bachata dancing

--> Jeong and us doing Gangman Style dance

--> Bongo/guitar/singing from Omar and Mauricio

--> Speech by me (I love giving speeches, 70% of the time)

--> Fantastic Cake

--> Sparklers (they were a dud)

--> Teaching all the Bolivians the Electric Slide (as most are dancers, they found it ridiculously easy and got really bored haha)

--> Flip cup

--> The remaining 6 of us went out to Elegua, to dance the night away : )

christina and the balloons!  everything is better with balloons!

Edgar couldn't make it, but we had a
fantastic lunch together : )

very typical.  obviously thinking the same thing
but as jackie says i am hiding it better hah

Grupo de Baile y Junior y Omar!

fernando making the moves!

Jackie is, well, not impressed

Raul!  My dance teacher : )

Carlos learns flip cup!

Jillian!  Our sparklers were humid and mostly
 duds, unless you lit a whole pack at once! 

Jackie tried to take a bite of the cake
before it was served!  That's what you get...

Amigos del Proyecto- We owe them tons for all the help they gave us, from translating to finding a dentist to running each and every one of our samples!

Insook and her FANTASTIC cake!
