barrantes tour and travel: A Bon Voyage party for....us. Sad face.

Boss Lady Vanessa, working closely with our friends Gordon and Mark, threw us a bon voyage party this past Saturday. Our great group of Kiwi friends got together at Gordon and Mark's (amazing) house to hang out in the company of good food and good drinks.

Gordon & his masterpiece

You may remember that I have a slight obsession with a certain piece of recurring graffiti here in Dunedin, and dear dear Gordon created one for the party! It was awesome, and I had all our guests take their picture with it before they left.

Mark & Gordon have a Laura & Todd monogrammed potholder. Weird.

Are these not the most awesome Absolut covers you have ever seen???

Ellie & Donna...so lovely.

Vanessa created a game specifically for our little soiree, a version of Pin the Tail on the Donkey. It was called Pin the Jaffa on Todd, and the goal was to put the jaffa on Todd's head in the exact spot where he had been hit by a rogue jaffa at the annual Baldwin Street Jaffa Race. It was hilarious to watch, and Nigel was the winner with the an almost exact match. Luckily Todd still has a scar, so it's easy to measure.

Ellie wins for 'it would be awesome if it actually was there.'

Todd shows the actual location.

By the time, we left the party, we realized we had been there for 7 hours - eek! Clearly we had been having a great time, and Gordon and Mark have assured us we did not overstay our welcome. Phew! Here are pictures of our dear friends with the not-so-little Grafitti Guy!
