EFY Photos Part 2

More photos from EFY. Some kids from my company hanging out.

It was really painful seeing plates like this in the morning for breakfast. 

Some of the boys in my group were walking away with jugs of orange drink for later in the day, which resulted in this classic sign.

Cheers!

Dance Party!

This awkward moment was staged, but still funny.

The Mocktail

Annie invited me to accompany her to the 2011 Mocktail, a masquerade ball held annually up in Sandy. It's an excuse to dress up, drink pretend cocktails, and practice one's dance moves.

Annie, Me, Kassidy, Jared, & Rayelene
That mask is growing on me. I'm one step away from donning a cape and fighting crime.

Group photo with a bunch of people who's names I can no longer remember. Ok, let's be honest. I never remembered them in the first place.

Blaine & his wife getting their groove on.

Couple's were encouraged to show off their stuff in succession across the dance floor as Justin Timberlake serenaded us. This is Kassidy & I attempting to "bring sexy back".

Lake Atitlán to Antigua

We took a boat tour around Lake Atitlán yesterday, a large volcanic lake--the deepest in Central America, although there are parts that have not yet been sounded. It's surrounded by 3 volcanoes.

From the docks of Panajachel.

Olivia & June on the dance floor. New Year's Eve in Antigua, Guatemala.

Olivia & Jessica + the requisite creepy old dude who keeps trying to squirm his way into our dance circle.

The B-52's and SLC Real

Our annual convention was last week--busiest time of the year for me. One of the things I was over this year was the dance party. We brought in the B-52's, which blew the doors off. Seriously, the sound level was outrageously loud.

I snapped a quick shot of the gal's traveling wardrobe backstage.

The glow sticks we handed out were a huge success. With the black lights going, the place looked really cool.

Joey & Cali came up...

...with Ash and Cort

The B-52's. You'll have to take my word for it--my camera sucks.

Saturday night we closed out the week with the final Real home game of the season. We won 3-0 and it was awesome. Heading to the playoffs!

Marrakesh Mayhem

In Washington DC over the weekend on business. Friday night before our event we went to a Moroccan restaurant called Marrakesh.

Jina, Redis, and Kelly in front

Erin, Kelly, Jina, and I at our booth

Hand washing was a must, since our eating utensils were attached to our arms.

I took before and after shots of the 7 course meal.

Course #1: Cold salads of eggplant, carrot, and a cucumber-tomato-pepper mixture that I loved.

Course #2: A sweet phyllo dough pot pie of chicken and egg

Course #3: Whole chicken with potatoes and green olives.

Belly dancing intermission

Back to the food.
Course #4: Lamb with almonds. Having watched my share of cooking and travel shows, I took the chance to suck out the bone marrow. Not bad.

I was a little late on the draw with course #5: couscous with squash, carrots, garbanzo beans, and raisins. It was pretty before our fingers went to work.

Course #6: Fruit

Peppermint tea break. Wow was that good.

Course #7: Baklava. The best kind of lava really. "Hot Lava" from The B-52's coming in a close second.

Junell and I, one step away from a food coma.

Stay tuned for more trip photos.
