Stache Party

Last weekend, the Mozambiquan Ultimate Frisbee players came to visit us in Swaziland. It is always fun when our two teams get together. We played frisbee for 3-4 hours on Saturday morning and then again for 2-3 hours on Sunday morning. In between, we ate and drank (no surprise, as Ultimate folks tend to like to party). On Saturday evening, we had a ‘Moustache’ themed party in honor of an ex-PAC doctor. While the boys did not disappoint in growing facial hair and shaving a few truly disturbing mustaches, the girls sported ‘big hair.’ In addition to the ‘Best ‘Stache and Big Hair’ contest, there was also a game of ‘Pin the Moustache on the Zebra.’ The zebra painting hangs in the Baylor Clinic and is very infamous. Many of the PAC doctors have been trying to get it taken down for years due to the morbid portrayal of a dying zebra; therefore, there was a lot of interest in defacing it, even if it wasn’t permanent.

I think Doug looks like he should be a Nascar fan with his goatee. And apparently, even though it was overcast and literally raining, all day, I still got sunburned...
