If you’ve been reading my blog you know I live with a girl
who is a 3rd year medical student. Sometimes she says things that make me really mad. I asked her if I should wear a white
coat to the medical clinic. She
was mad that I had a white coat.
She said “No me gusta.”
Which means she doesn’t like it.
OK MISS I didn’t choose to be
given a white coat as a pre-med! GOOOODness.
Tonight is her last night here.
So we eat dinner together at the house, then the four of us
(me, Colorado med student lady, and Canadian son/father combo) go out downtown
like every night.
BUT … tonight is a celebration! Because it’s the end of the world as we know it, it’s the
end of the world as we know it! (this is a song)
The downtown area is FULL of people, music, food, laughter,
fun, celebration, ceremonial dances, you name it – its there!
Eventually I find my friend from Minnesota. I meet her friends, and love them! Someone from Montana, someone from
Canada, someone from Minnesota, and one guy from Guatemala.
Then – they begin.
The fireworks.
THEY ARE SO INSANE.
I almost got hit in the face by one.
In America, fireworks this close to the ground would NEVER
be legal. Holy cow.
The three of us “gringas” duck when a huge one goes off.
ALL the Guatemalans around us point and laugh.
One even takes a picture of us “hitting the deck” …not even lying.
Then he asks to take a picture with us!
CRAY.
At 1:30am I walk home with Montana boy. From this point forward, I will refer
to him as “Montana Gentleman” because it was so sweet of him to walk me to my
door so I didn’t get stolen.
GRACIAS Montana Gentlemen! Me gustaJ
Slept so well.
Oh, until more fireworks and roosters at 6AM!
SERIOUSLY?
