The end....

Thursday is here and the conference has come to an end. We had our last presentations and closing. Paul (our fearless leader) had each of us staff members come up infront of the crowed and introduce ourselfes and say a few words about our roles in the company. That was akward. I am not much for the public speaking thing. I cracked a few jokes and opened up a bit. In the end I am glad I did it. Now they will never be able to get the mic away from me!

After lunch was time to pack up. We did such a good job packing and so fast. We were all feeling great about it and decided we should go out for a little touring around...unfortunatly we packed a little to fast and forgot a few things. We scrambled to "make" a box and fit the forgotten items into it. The shipper came back for it and then we were able to head out on our tour. I swear if our heads were not attached......

We left the hotel around 4pm, went over to the cathedral the Dom. So amazing. It is one of the oldest and largest aparently. It most certanly is beautiful. There is an elaborate tomb at the end that is where the 3 kings remains are kept. All gold and gems. Every year on January 6th (3 kings day) the high preists open up the tomb to make sure the remains are still there and that they are infact the kings. Interesting history. We celebrate 3 kings day at our home. It is a holiday in Puerto Rico, it is the day that the kings arrived to give Jesus his gifts of gold, frankinsence and myrh. In PR, on Jan 6th the children decorate shoe boxes and put hay in them, place them at the foot of their bed and the kings come and leave gifts. The straw or hay is for the Camels. We also have a large feast.

After the Dom, we were in need of a beer. We stopped in at a cool German Pub, ordered our round of 7 beers and cheers! We thought this was so cool and yummy we should not stop here and we should continue on our way around town on a beer tour! Oh yeah! Then on to our next pub, had a little bite of bread, mushrooms and shrimp there also. Then the next place....and the next place (they gave us free appitizers), then the next place, we had more cheese and bread, and meat there, then the next place....ok how many is that so far?

Ok that is 6....and then the last place we thought would be good for dinner, more beer, a few shots of shnapps......

I had pork knuckle....sounds odd, looks amazing, and tastes out of this world!!!

I took a few pictures....115 to be exact. I had to take one of me with each person in the group, each time we had a toast, and a lot of others. I will try not to bore you, but lets face it the pictures are the best part!!!

We have a tradition that on the last night, after the conference when we all go out for our celebration dinner, we take an elevator picture. We all cram in and take a bunch of crazy photos! Its so fun and usually a highlight for the trip. They never come out good, but thats not the point.
