After a day of working (Chris) and catching up on housework (dutiful housewife aka me) we hardly felt like a big night out but we put some party clothes on and headed out to a party hosted by friends of Tomas and Andrea, our new BFFs from Chile. The hosts of the party were a Chilean magician and a Mexican vet here in Dubai. The house was a miniature zoo full of snakes, birds, turtles and other creatures. There was music, drinks, yummy food and a karaoke machine. We met lots of new friends including Andres and his wife Maria, a very sweet couple from Columbia that have lived here a year, which is FOREVER in Dubai time. Maria is next to me and above her is Andrea. Needless to say too many cuba libres were consumed and the party was just getting really wild when we left at 4am. We managed to get home in a taxi easily and I dragged myself out of bed at noon to cook a massive brunch for Marc and his sister, Andrea and Tomas, Andres and Maria. I am not sure how the brunch got cooked on time but it did despite one close call when everything was in the oven and presumably cooking when I realized the oven was not on. Crisis was averted since everyone else was a little late and didn't mind a short wait over mimosas.
