This past weekend we had the joy of celebrating Lesley's 25th birthday. Her parents treated us all to a fancy little dinner at this incredible Armenian restaurant that is within walking distance from our apt. After stuffing ourselves with falafal, marinated lamb rolls, hummus/pita, Greek salad and red wine, the bustling restaurant went quite, birthday music came on in Spanish and Lesley was presented with an adorable little birthday tart :D It was a blast.
Even better was what came after. Coffee and fortunes. Yes, I said it. Upon finishing dinner, we were all served a tiny little shot of espresso with TONS of coffee grounds in the bottom of the cup...I didn't realize we were to leave it for the fortune teller and began to "politely" finish the paste of grounds. Gross.
Anyhoo, we were then called to the back of the restaurant, one by one and sat in front of this rather large and intimidating woman with crazy hair, an overpowering presences and eyes that starred so intently it was hard to make contact. Now seeing how I have never had my fortunes read, I found this to be quite entertaining as we were in a restaurant and being read our future through the remaining coffee grounds in our espresso. Well, the fortune teller was right on. It was CRAZY what she told me and I accused my friends of cheating and telling her :D Anyhoo, maybe it was the wine speaking, but she definitely said a thing or two about me that was soooooooooo true!
After dinner it was around 1am, we headed home and played cards, listened to music and chatted until the we hours of 5am or so. We wanted to keep it chill for Sat night at the club. Good thing we did, because DAMN! It was insane.
We had a big asado on our roof and invited people over around 11pm to start the evening. We all hung out on our terrace until about 3am when we hit the club. Key words...THE CLUB...It was something like I have never seen before. I have partied in Barcelona, Vegas etc and this place had them all beat. OMG...at 3am we waited in line forever and upon entering, I didn't know what hit me. Electronic music so loud our heads were beating, hundreds of disco balls, a light show above our heads and probably over 1000 people on multiple levels of the club so packed you couldn't move and all with their eyes shut and dancing to the beat. WOW. It was surreal. A fun experience where we danced till 6 :30am and decided to call it a night. Good times and crazy things were seen that night. All in all it was a birthday weekend to remember another awesome time with close friends. One month down, two more to go. My how time is flying!
