Chiva (aka Party Bus)

The night before my cousin Victoria went back to Seattle her family put together a trip to go see the "Alumbrados" or the Christmas lights around Medellin. We all got there at about 7pm. There was a big group of us.

We drove by the river first and saw all the decorations by the river.

Then we went to Itaguii.

Sabaneta.

Envigado.

The whole trip was fun. Extremely exhausting and the benches where we sat were so tiny that no one's butt fit onto it so our butts were tired.
Some Chiva's are more party bus than ours was. Some have dance floors and poles. Ours had great music and alcohol. I didn't drink anything, but seeing my family happy and dancing was fun. Now we didn't need a dance floor or a pole. One, none of us would use the pole (thank God!) and two, they danced in their seats or at stop lights/signs.

The night was a success but we were ready to go home.
