Katy's Asia Adventures (plus Mexico!)

A haphazard chronicle of my inevitable misadventures during a year in Vietnam and points east.

Day 7 - Part 3 - Moonlight Serenade

Our evening featured live entertainment, a nice departure from our sedate style in which I had to harass people (especially D, a major sleeper) to stay up past ten. Gabriel, a fabulous singer, whistler, and all-around Mexican Cheeseball orignally from Veracruz, put on an excellent show serenading Mom on Dad's behalf with super-romantic Mexican ballads, organizing sing-alongs for the few songs we actually knew (Cielito Lindo, La Cucaracha, and Guantanamera) and liberally peppering other more comic songs with references to "El Juez" (my father's a judge) and his eternal devotion to Mom.

Gabriel was awesome, singing directly to each of us, making hilariously appalling coments about the bible confirming that men need many beautiful women simultaneously (I don't think Gabriel is much of a monogamist), and generally exploding with amusing personality and patter. Not to mention he was a beautiful singer. All in all, a great evening.

Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay! Canta y no llores . . .
