A tangent into the present

So, as you may be aware we are slightly behind in this blog, I sit here trying to remember what happened in Peru when in fact I am sat in the bar in La Paz, Bolivia. I just thought I'd take the opportunity to tell you about the fact we had a party last night. We are both working in the hostel bar at Loki La Paz, our days are filled with work or sleep and the nights with booze and work sometimes. Booze is a constant, it is impossible to work behind the bar without getting pissed!
So last night was a fancy dress party, the pictures will follow. There was dancing on the bar till the early hours and I drew the short straw and had to work this morning at 8am! It sucks but someone has to do it right?
The night was full of drinking and debauchery, one girl fell off the bar and cracked her head off a light fitting and then into an amplifier, there was blood and tears, quite a commotion was made, I could barely stop myself from laughing, I find that shit funny!! ! She didn't see the funny side though and someone thought she might have concussion so said she should be kept awake for 2 hours else she may fall into a coma!? I don't know if thetas true or not but wasn't happy they had decided she should sleep in the staff dorm and in my bed no less! Now don't get me wrong, really drunken girls falling off bars is funny to me but when aforementioned drunken girl is now in my bed with the possibility of falling into a coma the humour just drains away! more so when I have to be up in 4 hours to start work! She didn't fall into a coma and just fell asleep, the regular none coma type.
I don't know how true the whole concussion coma thing is, she did give her head a good whack though, theres even a massive dent in the amp now!

To get to the point though the reason I have taken this tangent to the present was just to let you know I have had maybe 3 hours sleep and am now sat behind the bar taking breakfast orders and I needed something to do to keep from falling asleep!
If I have a drink now it may mean I have an alcohol problem......
but it would be rude not too.
