Friday night whipeout!

As I mentioned before, Friday nights by the pool are a regular household gathering spot. This night I decided to host and made my salsa and tortilla chips. I made the salsa Aussie friendly with only two jalapenos. I also got a slab of Corona (which set me back 67 bucks!) and showed everyone how to properly dress a beer. To think they had been drinking nekid Mexican beer!!! My little bit of culture went over smashingly and the night got off to a great start. Around 12am Elise and her friend Ainsley and I went to the pub across the street to dance (every Friday night there is a live band). We came back with MORE beer and a few guys to add to our posse. When I returned the Euros were still living it up by the pool so I joined them while Elise, Ainsley and the pub boys hung out in the house. I made some guacamole and as soon as I brought it out the sky opened up! We quickly moved everything into the cabana and continued our soiree! The rain poured and poured, the wet season had clearly begun. This however inspired a chorus of "singing in the rain" which turned into "singing in the rain" in five languages!!! I can't say I'd had a better time to date. Who would have thought a Texan, two Frenchmen, a German, and an Italian would be singing in the rain drinking Mexican beer in Australia?!!

This got us pumped up and ready for some club action! The clubs won't let you in past three so we had to get cracking as it was already 2:30. This is where stupid starts to happen. The boys didn't have bike lights but I did so I led them, however I forgot my glasses which meant I wasn't that good of a guide and the streets being wet ultimately spelled disaster! I took a corner pretty hard and slid off of my bike, in an attempt to save her for being scratched up I took the fall and boy do I wish I had just stayed home!

This is the result of that stupid decision... Lesson learned!
