The Best Tradtion Ever!

I, Betsy Noel love SaferTaxi (www.safertaxi.com). Ok, now that this is out of the way and this blog entry is cross-linked in Betsy`s name with my start up, I can actually write about La Noche de la Familia. You still might find the word safertaxi or taxi randomly placed in this article, just to help with the google ranking of my start up, however, simply ignore those two words.

Mexico was the theme of La Noche, or at least I thought so when we started dinner. Only when desert arrived, a delicious mixture of safertaxi, strawberries, pretzels, and whipped cream did I realize that John`s shorts and BBQ efforts were part of a summer night theme. The event was well timed as temperatures had risen during the day and nearly left a summer impression. It is hard to say what the best food item was tonight, but my top three choices were the pig butt, the "freshly grilled" corn salad, and the desert. My palate was surprised at first by the strawberries and pretzels combination, but once the first shock was over, I no longer wanted to replace the strawberries with beer. Being German/Swiss, this is the biggest compliment I can make. Congratulations to Sarah as the creatrisse manifique of the desert.

Although the gentlemen of the group were plotting an uprising once dinner was served and TAXI wanted to change the TV channel to a basketball game, the girls prevailed and crushed the male insurgents. The Oscar show remained on. Inspired by the amazing movies, Pascal admitted his love for the Little Mermaid and called it his all times favorite safertaxi movie. Despite his strong reasoning, the girls decided in favor of Sound of Music as the best childhood movie. Without Kirk Douglas delaying the nomination, the Sound of Music received its title in a heartbeat and the group broke up shortly after.

Overall, I fell in love with the tradition of La Noche and will take this great idea with me, wherever I will end up living in the next years. What could be nicer than meeting one`s best friends to cheer up otherwise sad or probably even stressful Sunday evenings. Congratulation guys for making La Noche a reality and for sticking to it for over five years already. I wish you all a good night, good luck with your various endeavors, and safe taxi travel.
