Festejos!

Festejando después del examen recepcional

We all went out for happy hour after Cindy´s thesis defense. It was a much deserved moment of relaxation and celebration after a lot of work. After a few drinks and dancing, Sr. Andrés took us out for some delicious Moreliana style hamburgers on the way home.  

Hermanitas. Erika y Cindy

Cindy, her sister Erika, and myself often spent time together around Morelia. Taking photos, eating gaspachos and drinking cheladas were some of our favorite pastimes. Erika also invited us out to help celebrate some friends birthday´s which usually meant live bands, 2 x 1 cervezas and of course plenty of salsa dance.  

Restaurante Amazonias

Cindy chose to celebrate her graduation with a dinner at Amazonias. The restaurant is an all you can eat Brazilian style barbecue so she naturally had my full support. We did our best to make our trip worthwhile by eating a wide variety of mouthwatering cuts. Sausage, chicken and every cut of beef imaginable made the list of options a lengthy one.

We were offered at least a dozen different selections before gladly accepting multiple rounds of our favorites. The rib-eye was particularly delicious. Along with the copious amount of meat, we also made sure to get our vitamins via large slabs of baked pineapple garnished with cinnamon. Cindy´s father enjoyed "a shot" of Pitú after his meal. No, the glass next to the bottle is not for orange juice.  

Impanema pizza buffet

November 19. Pizza by the slice was delivered to our table. They had an impressive assortment with more than fifty options. From basic to exotic, they had many styles from several different countries. I failed to achieve my goal of thirty pieces, but I can say that I made it most of the way there.     

Pizza dulce

I didn´t save any room for dessert so I really had to force the last few pieces down to round out my gluttonous display.
