                Saturday day night me, Sarah, Dhugal and some other friends decided to go out and watch Ramin play with his Flamenco band at Milano's pizzeria. I brought Cedric along because we had been trying to hang out and I thought this was a perfect opportunity for him to get to know some of the fellow TEFLers! He seemed really excited to meet everyone and we had A LOT to catch up on, unfortunately it seemed that our schedules were constantly clashing (Me gone one weekend, him gone the next etc). Since we had lost spoken he had visited Tennessee with some fellow CIES friends, I personally love Tennessee and couldn't wait to hear all about it. "So Cedric what did you think of Tennessee?" He looked thoughtful "Well...it was boring." I guess we have different ideas of an ideal vacation. I asked him if he liked the mountains and what not, but he was really indifferent, he said the best part of the trip was when they went to Memphis and checked out all the bars and clubs...I think I will give it a go the next time I go there, I'm typically with my family so nightlife isn't usually on my to-do list while I'm there. 

Cedric and I at Milanos

                 The atmosphere at Milanos was soooo relaxing and one person even said that they felt like we weren't in Tallahassee anymore! I think me and Sarah were inspired to make a band and Cedric said he would join too, he can apparently play the harmonica, an instrument I've tried many times but have yet to master! Once the night got rolling we all had some great conversation and Dhugal even taught Cedric what a "bandwagon" fan was...but I think Cedric defended himself pretty well, claiming to like his teams through thick and thin. We all even danced a bit and Cedric wasn't afraid to show us some of his Salsa moves. 

Ramin jammin' with his band!

                After Milanos Cedric and some others from TEFL went to a bar and played pool and hung out, Cedric was a HIT with the group (particularly my work buddies from UPS) and really showed off his pool skills...me not so much. He said he had a really nice time and was happy to meet new people from different places. The whole thing was a great experience for both of us and I'm glad we got to hang out again.
