Vegan Burgers, Work Party, and Drunk Boss

Holy crap, funnest night of my life! Seriously, so much fun that I used the word funnest. Hey! I didn't start this post with so! Go me! It is late and I am kinda all over the place if you can't tell! Haha!

Anyways, our post just got a new Consul and so we had a welcoming BBQ for her this evening at my boss' place and ohhhhh how much joy this party brought me. I found joy in a number of things.

1) Mango Pico de Gallo - I have no idea how Dave made this but dang do I need to learn because it tasted sooooo good! Throw that on your bean and chipotle burger and you have one fine vegan burger! I even ate a stuffed mushroom today! Look how adventurous I am being with foods I NEVER eat in Canada. You should be proud of me.
2) Conversations in Spanish - I sat and talked with one of the Mexican students that also works at the Consulate. The Canadian students don't really have a chance to interact with the Spanish ones so it was really nice to have the chance. We are actually going to go and see a movie tomorrow! Yay for friends that speak Spanish!
3) Mexican Feeling - I don't know what it is but Mexicans just have this different feeling when they socialize. I have no idea what it is but it is so nice to just feel this different culture and the observe how they interact and what they say and how they say it and such. It is seriously my favorite part of travelling.
4) Drunk Boss = Drunk Ted - ohhhhh my goodness. My boss got PLASTERED tonight. It was one of the most hilarious things I have ever seen. I have seen him drink before but never like he did tonight. He said he drank two bottles of wine and tequila. That being said, he was drunk when he was telling me this so who knows how much he had. But, basically, for anyone that has seen How I Met Your Mother, he was EXACTLY like drunk Ted. Brought me SOOO much joy. Good times, good times.

Basically, I really feel the most comfort when I am at work in this country and even more so after this party. It was entertaining and hilarious and I laughed and laughed and joked and spoke up and was myself and still was able to uphold my standards and actually have quite a long conversation about the church. That being said, it was with my drunk boss so I don't know if that counts :) Haha! All and all. Good times.
