New friends and tons of fun

This weekend was a fun one, I woke up on Saturday morning and drove up to Atlanta to meet up with my Venezuelan friend Thais with whom I work. We had agreed to meet up at her place and go for a bike ride to Silver Comet Trail again and then go to the pool to get some sun. We met at her place and had breakfast at Einstein Bros. to carb up a little for our 25 mile ride, have I mentioned I am loving this cycling thing?

Not thrilled about this pic because I absolutely hate wearing a helmet, so not sexy but I guess safety first and these IronGirl sunglasses are not very flattering either but they are great for cycling! I did though had to showcase my HOT WHEELS, and even though I don't look like a true cyclist because I still have regular pedals and I don't have cycling shoes I am sure I will get there soon once I master to feel more stable and confident in the bike.

After our 25 mile ride we went to Thais' condo and laid in the pool sipping a berry margarita that my skilled friend made for us. The weather was HOT and perfect for pool time, it was great to be laying out as I had been neglecting my tan since I started my new job. Then it was time for lunch and we headed to a small Venezuelan restaurant in Atlanta where not only they have arepas, but they have cachitos, tequenos, and queso de mano and guayanes to buy by the pound! Bingo! So we stuffed our faces with arepa de guayanes and avocado and some tequenos which I have not eaten since my last trip to Aripos in Chicago.

Now it was time to go back home and get ready to go out, my friends had promised to take me out and show me around. It was a fun night full of fun and dancing, we ended up going to a Latin place where how could you not dance... The moment I hear salsa and merengue my body just starts moving, I just can't help it, it's in my genes ;)

We had sangria and joked around and danced and it was lots of fun! I can't wait to do it again next weekend =) It was also great to not have to drive back home for 45 minutes, which is really making me ponder if I should move closer to the city... Maybe not, lol!

That's it for now my friends, until next post!
