Around the World in One Night!
Last night was so surreal, it still feels like a dream and I'll attempt to share a few of the highlights with you, but you may not believe it yourself!
Hubby and I were invited, along with about 50 other people, to a party hosted by a group of teachers from our Primary School. It was dubbed the First Annual "Around the Worlds" Party and the invitation led us to believe it would certainly be something different---Ha! Can you say understatement?
The whole shin dig took place at "Suites Marbella" and kicked off at 6:30 with a tailgate party by the Art teacher's truck. His truck is hard to miss since he has been customizing it over the months with a series of guady neck ties glued to the exterior. It's pretty wild and he loves it. Anyway, a decent sized crowd gathered at "Dave's Place" for a couple of Caguamas (the name for the giant bottles of beer the boys favor) and I'm quite sure Marbella hasn't seen the likes of our group ever! People we driving by just giving us the hairy eye-ball and one woman even paused in her car long enough to ask, "what's the occasion?" to which we replied, "Ahhhh, Saturday of course!" Heh, heh.
The party really started to get interesting at 7:30 when we were all told to make our way (sort of like a pilgrimage for the soused) to apt. #14-- where the theme was billed as "Under the Sea World." Well, we were like a bunch of kids on Christmas morning when we walked into this pad---just buggin'! It was totally tricked out in sea paraphanelia and the host had swim goggles on! There was a large TV playing "Little Nemo," the walls were covered in colorful sea life, there was sushi and fish crackers to eat and "Blue Lagoons" in the blender to drink. It was a tremendous effort and we "soaked" it up in more ways than one. But the fun didn't end there---ha! Just imagine, after about an hour of doing the Jacques Costeau thang, we were told to move to apt. # 14-- and visit "Jungle World!"
I've been to a lot of parties in my life (probably more than I'm willing to admit to) and I have never seen anything like we all saw at jungle world. Forget the fabulous jungly decorations, the plastic bugs everywhere, the fake paper palm fronds and the wild decor, try clearing the floor and being told "the show" is about to begin. With the beat of native drums thumping, armed with another "native coctail," all of a sudden this young man "gazelle leaps" into the livingroom sporting just a loin cloth and leopard skin leggings!!! Due to the tropical heat wave we're currently experiencing, he's glistening with sweat and begins this amazingly limber and seductive performance designed to impress us all with his dancing prowess. Well, it was truly spectacular and just as we were "ooohing" and "ahhhhhing" and shaking our heads in amazement---out comes "Jane" to dance with her "Tarzan." She was scantily clad and she even had flames in each hand! Their dancing was just over-the-top and the crowd got so excited, they started a cacophany of jungle noises similar to what you might hear if a gang of male chimps came into heat. It was truly "Wild African Safari" and I can only imagine what the neighbours in the adjacent apts. were thinking!!! OKAY---time for a break. There are still a couple more worlds to visit, but that's in the next blog...
