an american party in spain

what did i do on my first weekend in madrid?

i went to...an "american" party!

that's right...they actually have american-themed parties over here, and you will be thrilled to see what they think of us haha

all-american alvaro

i didn't really realize that "nerds" were such an "american" concept...until i went to an american party and was faced with like 100 of them. one chick was even sporting fake braces!

i think the quintessential post-it phrase is "kick me", but...close. javi's costume was very thorough...he even brought a spiral notebook, an apple, and a tuna salad sandwich wrapped in saran wrap

i don't know if this was part of the "american" theme, but there were boxes & boxes & boxes of sangria in the kitchen.

football player...with cape haha

um how much do you love the walking hot dog? ("perrito caliente" as they say in spain)

just when you think it can't get any better...monica lewinski shows up

all-NATIVE-american...cher.

miss USA!

josé can you see

home, home on the range

stars & stripes 4-ever

re-enactment of the lady gaga video...i imagine this happens at any party, regardless of its theme

yearbook photo

i kept trying to get a photo of Superman smoking his cigarette, but i could never move fast enough

best use of a trophy i've seen

i didn't need a costume...i came as all-american alvaro's authentic american accessory

my favorite quote from the night:

-javi calvo (above), upon pulling my very american listerine strips out of my pocket & letting him try one:

"it's like a gum...but quicker!"
