We wandered over to Erika’s around 7:30 and arrived to a delicious treat – homemade guacamole (side note: yes. I eat guacamole practically every day for dinner. But it doesn’t make it any less awesome when someone ELSE does all the hard work and I just get to enjoy it ;-).) We got started on the wine and beer, some delicious guac, and got to know our newest staff member at NPH: Jader, our director of casa. While it was a little strange to have him at the dinner with all the volunteers, it was also nice to see that he was eager to get to know us AND had already learned most of our names – fairly impressive considering he’d only arrived about 3 days prior. We ate delicious pasta and salad, then scarfed down cookies, fruit, and ice cream from Sarita’s and well…had a bit too much of everything...
It was definitely a really great night with the volunteers. And what made it even better? Frannie. I LOVE Frannie. She is a volunteer from Italy who is just so much fun and a really cool person. She knows a billion languages and works her butt off and never complains. Anyhoo. Frannie had…a bit too much fun at Erika’s. Now, I’ve never seen her in such a state before but let’s just say while she’s a very outgoing and bubbly person, this was BY FAR the most outgoing and bubbly I’d ever seen her! I told her before we went to Erika’s that I didn’t have any pictures of her and that it needed to change…and she definitely took that advice to heart, swiping my camera and taking one amazing picture after the next :-p. Here are some of the winners from that night – enjoy! :)
