More Snaps

I have a problem/obsession. Well documented by now.

I got this skull for less than US$10! Win.

Banana Singing at the Wedding

Check out this video (not taken by me, although I do have a few to upload) of César Banana Pueyrredón singing "Just the Way You Are"

From Casa Mun. Mimi the GoldenDoodle makes her debut. Pure joy.

Lazy Sunday

... every muscle in my body hurts.

It was a great weekend. We kicked it off with Katie's bachelorette party on Thursday, then celebrated Cassie's birthday on Friday with a Mexican feast (and one too many margaritas), and Saturday was Katie & Marcos's wedding. Argentine weddings are known to go on all night - a big shock to those of us who are used to the party winding down by 12 - and always manage to get a little rowdy. Won't be able to get the image of the groom being lifted up on a circular plank of wood over the dance floor for a while!

The wedding was beautiful - I'd never seen my friend so happy, and it was a really fun party. The groom's father is a very well known singer who enjoyed his heyday in the 80s. José used to see him live when he summered in Punta del Este !! After dinner César "Banana" Pueyrredón sang a few diddies which got everyone singing along at the top of their lungs and throwing flowers all over the place. Total legend. 

My feet didn't last until dawn, however, and I hobbled home with the help of Josey around 4. Have a huge bruise on the top of my foot today. My voice has been misplaced... hopefully it will turn up somewhere.

Deb was able to go to Sass's engagement party in DC last night and they sent me a picture mid-fiesta! I definitely had a glass of champagne in their honor, despite being halfway across the world. So happy for yet another amazing couple!

Xalapa for Cassie's cumpleaños

Feliz Cumple, Flaquito

Happy Birthday to you, Josey! Flaco, Flaquito, Jirafa, Amor de mi vida.

No te puedo decir mucho, ya que te puse todo en la carta que te escribí esta mañana. Gracias por ser mi mejor amigo, que linda será compartir miles de proyectos, viajes, y experiencias de la vida juntos. Siempre juntitos. Quizás con algún puppy tirado por ahí también. Nunca se sabe.

Ahí van 2 canciones que me recuerdan de vos y de nuestra vida. Te quiero. Feliz Día !

Friday I'm in Love

... with champagne. How could you ever say no? Especially when it's presented like this, as was done at Kate Moss's summer wedding. My friend Will (reliable source of all things fun on the internet) sent the link from Vogue's website to some of the snapshots from the fete. I'm not really a huge Kate Moss fan, but I loved her dress and I thought the color palette was beautiful.

I vow to have a champagne tower at some point in my life. Even if it's just for José and me (and our dachshund, le sigh .. one day) it will happen!

Cheers!
