Karaoke!

So we headed out to a karaoke bar, mind you it is about 3 in the morning at this point and the streets are just starting to fill up with people. Everyone insisted that I request something so I flipped through the song book and found something that I recognized, Suavemente by Elvis Crespo. Lucky for me however, they lost my request so my song never came up by the time we left, haha. Next time perhaps, next time. A couple photos:

This is uh... the guy who was wearing orange before but had since changed shirts for some reason. I wish I could remember his name. On the right belting out a tune is Fito.


This is a better view of what it actually looked like inside, and there is Carlos and Juanin serenading us all.

Around 5am we left and made our way around the casco antiguo and to the "zona copa" basically where all the bars and clubs are, and we crammed ourselves into a bar which was full of people. Honestly I didn't really understand the appeal of the mosh-pit atmosphere for socializing... we finally started to go our separate ways and go home around 6am or so I think, and the streets were still full of people.

Since I wasn't entirely sure where I was, Fito and guy-whose-name-I-can't-remember walked me to San Francisco Park which was a landmark I knew and along the way nameless-guy and Fito had managed to strike up a conversation with a group of girls who were heading in that general direction. They said they were headed towards Plaza America which I definitely know by now, so I followed them there and was able to make my way back home.

I have to admit, given my abysmal sense of direction, I'm pretty proud of myself at how well I have managed to navigate my way around the city thus far. I could probably get lost in a Wal-Mart, seriously. The phrase "couldn't find her way out of a paper bag" comes to mind.

In any case, I actually did remember the way home without problems and managed to catch Jay online for a chat before he and Cammarata went to watch a movie they rented.

Meanwhile, Merce, Pedro, Merche, Becky, Jonnie, and Susana actually had dinner reservations at a seafood place at 11:30pm... yes, that is when the dinner STARTED. Apparently they didn't get back much earlier than I did, according to Merche.
