Cartwright, Four?

On Friday, Kelly and I were going to celebrate Cinco de Mayo with the LSE crew by visiting a new Mexican restaurant that we heard was amazing...but didnt take reservations. Ahem. By the way - got a hot tip about 5 de May. It's a celebration celebrated by Mexico because in 1862 Mexico defeated the French army. I digress... Before the fiesta we stopped off in the City to see the special "Sultan's Elephant" that was visiting from France. It is a forty feet high and 42 tonne wooden puppet that walked the streets of London, spraying water at the audience, manipulated by 100 puppeteers, and followed by a band that played African dance music. Quite impressive. Especially when we all got sprayed and Kelly said "apparently the elephant doesn't realize that not everyone has naturally straight hair". I don't think she was impressed.

So we headed to the Mexican restaurant at 7pm, requested a table for 8 people under the name Kelly and waited outside in the sunshine with Coronas and tortilla chips to be called. Like in the Seinfeld episode where they waited for what seemed forever for a table at the Chinese restauarnt, we soon became disenchanted with the chips and beer and fading sunshine and our hunger and fatique set in. We desperatly waited for, "Kelly? 8?" but no dice. God help us at 930pm when we still hadn't eaten. We managed to stumble to a burger joint to feed all of us by 10pm but for some reason the fiesta fever we arrived with had left. Weird.

Saturday, we had another Canadian party to go to at Canada House. It was a "Mojito Mixer" but I don't think Kelly or I had a single mo-hee-to. Besides the VIP gambling, the dance-offs, and multiple wines - it was a fun night!!! Good to see some old friends like Coatesy - write that down. We spilled over to the American bar for some more late night dancing and so that Kelly could watch the boxing! hahahaha

This week is school projects and studying and tickets to see Billy Elliot the Musical. Not to mention Round Two in which we both are 0-1. Game 2 is this morning at 12 and 330am. Wish us luck!
