Okay, so this blog post is technically meant for not last night but the night before, but due to lack of sleep and internet, it didn’t happen when it was supposed to have. But, our last night in Jinetes de Osa was a fantastic one that happened to concide with a tico’s birthday, so our last night was basically one EPIC DANCE PARTY! We headed out to the Jungle bar and found about the entire town there (just about all of which were Geovanny’s relatives… Yikes! Seriously, if Geo’s family relocated, there’s be maybe 3 people left.). At first, most of the people were just gathered around the dance floor’s edges, drinking and talking (some of the guys were a little creepy about it). But after everyone had had a few drinks (whole ‘nother ball o’ wax there, trying to figure out what we’d gotten!) and the music picked up, we started moving out to the floor. Emma was a non-stop shimmy machine! Even Kat danced! We were so proud of her!!! Then some of the local guys asked us to dance, and apparently the locals were rating us on our dance abilities. As Geo put it, some of us passed, some of us…how you say? Failed miserably! XP It was all good fun, though. BUT THE GUYS ACTUALLY DANCED!!! And not the American way of just going out and doing the ‘white man shuffle.’ They were legit dancing: salsa, merengue, spinning and twirling us all over the place! It was pretty flippin’ awesome, though maybe a little dizzying after drinks! We all only had at the most two, though, of course… 
Victor kept saying he couldn’t dance, but he’s a liar… just about all the guys could dance! At least…all the LOCAL guys. Others… not so much. >_< Geovanny was a really good teacher, and Ivan liked dancing with Elia “because she’s tall!” Kike and Paige seemed to have a pretty good time, lol. The songs that they played lasted FOR-E-VER! They were good for the most part, though. Rachel and Kat left around 11:30 ish, and then Emma and Kelly checked out around 2. The rest of us ended up getting back around 3… What a night! All in all, a really awesome way to end our stay in Drake Bay. We really didn’t want to leave… We’ll miss you guys!!!!! :’(
*PURA VIDA*
