We had an invite from a friend that his birthday party was being held at a winery out of town and that there would be music and dancing so after an afternoon of feeling super tired and shopping for an outfit we found ourselves ready and waiting to go at about 12.15 am.
The girls arrived to pick us up and after a crazy 5 minutes we were in the car and double checking the directions. We drove out of town towards the mountains and soon discovered that actually everyone was too busy talking at the same time to absorb the double checked directions and we was on a lonely dark motorway road to nowhere.
The phones were out and again there was a lot of talking at the same time however this time Florencia was talking to Yamilla who magically to know exactly where you are and how to get there. Now I have heard Florencia´s directions before and they go something like this: You go up the hill and at the tree you turn left and you know that house at the end of the road? Yeah its not that way. However by a miracle we were directed onto the right road and a few minutes later we had found the entrance to the winery. We said hello to the security guard on the gate as he waved us through, there were several other cars arriving at the same time and it looked to be a good sign.
We wasn’t the first people there but nearly and it took another hour and a half for the party to get going. By this time I had a few drinks inside me and felt ok but still out of place and 20 years older than some of the other people. Nice.
