Seasons of my life...

As some of you might know, I was in Miami recently for some personal business… I’m happy to report that things are moving along well, and a decision could be made soon (very exciting and scary at the same time). I will keep you guys posted and let you know once it’s final. Can I sail through the changing ocean tides, can I handle the seasons of my life... (Fleetwood Mac in da house!)

What else? Work has been going ok, for some reason ever since we got back from Cancun, it seems that we’ve had tons of more work. I know I shouldn’t complain, but still, I’ve been leaving work around 7 - 8 PM most days.

On happier news, we celebrated Lucky’s b-day last week at Villa Los Añejos (this bar / lounge place owned by La Licorera). I was able to get Lucky a discount on the bottles of rum for the event, which we amazingly finished quite fast (4 bottles of Casa Botran Añejo 12 and 2 bottles of XL). A band plays there every Friday night, so we had very cool ambiance and great company.

On other drinking news, about two weeks ago, we had a bar crawling night in Antigua with my gringo friends. Jud had arranged the entire thing, and we had a specified time to spend at each bar. We all contributed to a pot of money for the drinks, which included about 5 or 6 bars. I missed out on the first stop, which was La Chimenea, but caught up with the crew at Reds. Some pics from that night:

So I missed the first stop, but the second one was at REDS...

At Reilly's... after this it was off to Ricky's (were all we did was use the bathroom)

El Club or something like that... huge Rum and Coke!

Singing kareoke, where I delighted the crowd with a rendition of Hey Jude and The Gambler.

Our last stop, Monoloco... Jud checking out if he's in any of the pictures.

After coming out of Monoloco, we decided to climb (or at least tried) this wall that's infront of the bar... I helped Jud get up on the wall.


Here I am trying to get up...

Thanks for the help Kevin... did I make it all the way up???

NOPE!!! Failed miserably... I'm guessing I was too tired and not too weak. Besides, Bob also fell down after I tried to help him up, but his crash was much worse (fell on his back)... or at least it appeared that way, he was fine though.

Later dudes,
