Curitiba

So this morning I woke up still extremely inebriated from last night's festivities. I threw a party for 200 reais. I had my student Tulião help me purchase what we needed. Meat and Booze. I had invited and planned for about 10 people to come. We got ready to start the party at around 7:00 PM. I quickly put all my friends to work. Thomas was making a mix for the party, Ari cleaned out the fridge, Tatiana made caiprinhas, Vinicius started the BBQ, and I simply mingled. We had a great turnout with about 20 people in attendance. I made a speech thanking everyone for attending but really had an ulterior motive of collecting money for the party. I received a total of 23 reais. The party continued until the security of the condominium kicked us out. The party continued from there to my friend Marcos' house. We dubbed Marcos an insurance salesman named Bob who was visiting from Ohio. We partied at Marcos' until late and then went back to the Condominium. Ari, Katherine and I continued drinking beers until late in the morning when the security once again asked us to shut up. We continued being obnoxious until I fell asleep on the bench outside of my apartment. Thomas came back early in the morning as he had met a young lady who Ari and I entitled a Bug's life. We got up the next morning still inebriated. We packed our stuff and called a taxi to take us to the bus station. We left the apartment like a bomb went off. I should have cleaned but I wasn't in the right mindset to really handle the cleaning. I forgot lots of things such as socks, boxers, and my battery charger. Shoot. We got to Curitiba and caught a cab to our hostel. The cab driver dropped us in the garage and the door had a sign hung on it that said glass door. I thought it was funny and I commented about it. We entered the lobby, Ari closed the door behind him and with a thunderous crash the door shattered into a million pieces. Our jaws dropped, we were speechless. I looked to the cab driver who was flabbergasted. It was the best entrance and we've decided that every hostel we go to from now on we have to break the door there as well. We got some dinner at a mediocre Mexican restaurant, played some pool after giving up looking for a place to watch the Redskins Monday night game and finally came home. We've been partying pretty hard so tonight we took it relatively easy.
