To All My Loyal Readers

Some of you may be asking yourselves: now that tour is over...will the blog continue? Will the blog live on??? What the heck is Cristina doing with her free time?

I'm sorry the answer to these questions has been so long awaited...but I'm in Va Beach, and my parents have dial-up. No, that wasn't a typo. They don't have cable either. It's like living in the 1950s... just kidding mom and dad :). Thanks for the free food!

And I typically use my dad's computer to sign online because I can't get my gmail on my mom's comp, but my dad's comp won't let me do blogger! Soooo...I finally made it over to my mom's comp, and I'm typing this message to all of you...the loyal few.

So listen. Here's the scoop. I love blogging. I love random adventures. And I love telling stories! So, I've decided that as long as the adventures and funny stories keep coming, I'll keep blogging! But to distinguish between the tour blog (that started it all) and my new real-life blog, I will be starting a brand new blog website...with a new URL. Goodbye "Aventuras" with your pick background...hello new blog! I will probably wait until I've got some sort of high speed connection, which may be in a week, or if I find a cafe around here it'll be sooner!

But check back because I'll put a link to the blog on here for y'all...easy peasy.

I'm currently gleefully unemployed...and next week I will be attending a bartending course here in Va Beach! Oh, you know that will create some great stories...

So you all get the (not so distinct) pleasure of seeing some random pictures that were on my mom's computer. It's baby Cristina! Well not really baby...but high school (and that is getting farther and farther away...)

This is me after a perfeormance of The Sound of Music. I played Maria...the singing nun! That little doll, Veronica, was our gretyl. I just got a message from her on mySpace and she's like 14 now. That made me throw up a little in my mouth.

Wow. Dial-up is so slow that you all only get ONE PICTURE. I have no patience for this. Remember to check back for the new link sometime in the next week or so...

Finally.

Hi, everybody!!! I'm back (temporarily...I can't make any promises) from my disappearing act. See, my parents have dial-up...and I don't even want to think about how long it would take to upload all my pictures on their computer...so now I'm up in DC (again, very temporarily) and using my friend Eric's high speed monster.

So, tour is over. What am I doing now, y'all have asked? Nothing! Well nothing, if nothing meaning I'm running around all day every day looking for a place to live and a job to pay the bills, and auditioning, and seeing wonderful friends, etc, etc, etc. I took the bus up from Va Beach on Sunday for some auditions up here in DC this week, and I've been staying with Eric in Dupont (love the house!) and Koffi of course! Koffi the wonder dog.

Here are some picture galleries for you. The first group of pictures is the cast and crews last night together. We all went to an Italian restaurant to celebrate the end of the tour with pasta, wine and BREAD!

After dinner, we went back to the hotel bar for some chatting. And fun with roses.

One of the best parts of being back in DC, other than the fact that it's gorgeous out, and this city is beautiful in the spring, is seeing my wonderful wonderful friends. Matty. You make me laugh so hard. Matt is a famous composer. No. Really. He's famous in Shirlington and parts of Europe. And those men behind him think he's the coolest. hehehe.

Steve and Matt cooking up a wonderful gourmet concoction. They rock my world. I only wish I had gotten a picture of the babushka!!!

Alright folks...more to come. I'm probably going to redirect how I do the blog...maybe even start a new one...but, of course, I'll be sure to put the link on here. I just think it would be nice to seperate the tour blog from a "normal" one...but then again, what is normal. Who am I kiddin. Ain't gonna be nothing normal about it.

**Ciao**

All done.

Okay people. Listen...I'm all done with tour!!!! And I have pictures from our last night out and everything. But I am running around like a chicken with my head cut off. I promise to update tomorrow. PROMISE. And my promises are golden.
