Mitchell & Amy were volunteering only for a week, and would be leaving on Saturday morning, so we planned a farewell party on Friday night. It turned out to be blast with some Salsa lessons from yours truly thrown into the mix. The irony of an Indian guy teaching Salsa steps to South Americans in South America was not lost on anyone.

But the Indian guy couldn’t cook anything Indian. Thankfully, Eddie came to the rescue here, and made some great sabji with chapattis. The irony of a Kiwi making Indian dishes (and that too, so very tasty) was also not lost on anyone.

This time it was Matt who was at the receiving end of Nicolas’ “big fight at midnight”. Every once in a while one could hear a loud “I will kill you man!” from the Frenchman. Midnight did come, and the fight did take place; but Matt was simply too strong. It was only with Nicolas & I together wrestling with the Canadian that it seemed like an evenly matched contest. When we finally broke apart, Matt was wearing my shirt, I was wearing Nicolas’ shirt and Matt’s shirt had been thrown to the pig.
