Hey everyone!

 

Liz, Al and I decided to host an American party for all of our European friends, so that we could teach them our favorite drinking games: beer pong, flip cup and quarters. Overall, the party was quite a success, although we’re not sure our friends left with actual knowledge of the games’ rules or any skill at playing them J Our guests were mainly friends from school and others who we’ve met on nights out with them. We had friends here from Italy, Belgium, Portugal, France, Brazil and the Netherlands. English is our only common language (because of those of us from the States never really learned another language), but we get quite a mixture going when everyone is all together.

 

The games had been played by a few of our friends, but for the most part, we were introducing them to everyone. Beer pong was quite a hit, although towards the end of the night our friends decided that it would be more fun to move the cups around on the table as the other team tried to make their shots. They called it beer pong, European style. Quarters seemed to be difficult for everyone, although that was partly because our kitchen table has a lot of dead spots, and so isn’t the best for quarter bouncing. Flip cup was a rousing success, although by the time we were playing it most everyone was engrossed in beer pong, so I think only a few of our friends got to try it out.

 

Sometime after midnight we all decided to go out to Bairro Alto, where we had a great time laughing, talking, and dancing to the music in the bar. The best part of the night (for me, at least) was that the flip camera healed itself and seems to be working all the time now. So enjoy the video below!

 

Much Love,

The Trio
