This weekend was pretty low key, after all the excitement last weekend. On Friday night, another teacher came over and we hung out and just watched tv and stuff. Saturday I lounged around for most of the morning and afternoon. I walked down to the Cemaco store by our house and the grocery store to pick up a few things. I wanted to make Danielle a cake for her birthday. There is this amazing chocolate cake that she introduced me to at this cafe. It is chocolate cake with this stuff that they call Arequipo (I think....something like that) in between the layers. It is this caramel/dulce de leche sauce that is pretty much just amazing. So I was going to try to duplicate the cake for her. I have to admit it turned out pretty good!!! She really liked it. I had to have Stephanie help me ice the outside of the cake, because I didn't want to ruin it! But, my mom explained a trick to me to cut the cake into layers. I made two round cakes from the mix and then she said you can use dental floss to split the cake and put the caramel in the middle of the layer as well. So I did it and it worked fabulously!!!! I was pretty proud of it. I should have taken a picture but I didn't! Oh well. We went to Danielle's house for a barbecue that night and then we went to Antigua to go dancing. The place was kind of cool, but I really wanted to dance to latin music! :) We still had a good time though. Here are just a few pictures that I took out dancing. I didn't take too many. :( Here is the birthday girl and myself!
This is me with Miguel and Danielle, they are so cute and fun!!! What great friends! Miguel thought he was pretty cool! ha ha.
