Our Day of the Dead Pool Party...

...

Yesterday was the "Day of the Dead" here in Bolivia.  It's kind of a day of rememberance for family and friends who've died.  In Catholic tradition here, it does go deeper than that of course.  People hire musicians and cook the favourite foods of the people they're visiting in the cemetary.  It's quite involved.  Another day maybe I'll write more about it...it's fairly interesting really.

But in good Ken and his guys tradition, when there's a holiday and it's hot out, our tradition is...we go to the pool...  So sit back and enjoy our Day of the Dead Pool Party pics!  =)

A little diving to start the day...

Alan trying to perfect his backwards summersault...this attempt

was a bit painful in the end...

Andres getting ready...

The dive...

Andres, Roberto and Alan...

If you notice...Roberto (one of the new guys) always seems to be in the middle of trouble...

Finally everyone decided some retaliation was in order...

Roberto's studying to be a lawyer...and with good cause.  When he's in

trouble, it's all, "Wait a minute, wait a minute!"

He then he goes on to try to talk his way out of whatever

situation he's put himself in...

Roberto underwater...it seems he couldn't talk his way out of that one...

The guys came close to dragging Ruddy into the pool.

But just as this pic was taken, his legs slipped out

and he skidded across the deck pool...

The little kiddie slide...

My guys taking over the little kiddie slide...

It went on for quite some time...

All in all in was a very fun day.  Some of the guys burnt worse than I did 

and are still whining about how sore they are. 

 But it was worth it...we had a very good time!

PS...The guy to the left in the picture below?  That would be "Random Guy". 

Strangely he showed up in more than a few of our pictures. 

When I first took the picture below, I didn't realize he wasn't one of the guys. 

He was, after all, waving at me....
