So before my conversation partner headed to New Orleans to celebrate here 21st birthday, she had a 'dinner party' at her house. I showed up dressed kinda fancy expecting a more sit down type deal, but it turned out to be a more dancing drinking type of affair, and all the better, it was a blast. I got there a bit early to hang out and chat and we talked about music selections and how the rice dish she was making wasn't looking perfect (the appearance was irrelevant, it was delicious!) I wanted to get her something really neat for her birthday, but I wasn't sure what she would like. I ended up going with a bottle of wine and Apples to Apples, haha, a great and necessary combination in my mind. We had talked about the game before and Cloris and her sister seemed interested. It's also a great thing to use to lean new vocab words in English, it's got synonyms for each adjective card and its hilarious. We looked over some of the cards and I explained the game, but with the crowd that ended up there we didn't get the chance to play. Cloris seemed a little skeptical at first, it's an odd game to just explain you really have to play it to see how it works out. The party kicked up pretty soon and I got the chance to meet a ton of kids from CIES and past students from the TEFL course too. There was a great mix of Spanish, Arabic, and mostly English going on at the party, a great success of a birthday I think!
