Jake Kheel's Party

Jake Kheel is the director of the Punta Cana Ecological Foundation.  His grandfather founded the ecological preserve years ago.  He really seems like a "most eligible bachelor" kind of guy.  He is 30, relatively good looking, has money from his family, and makes more while doing a lot of good things for the Punta Cana community. All the girls are always all over him, but i personally don't think he is that interesting or friendly to talk to.  His brother actually decided to have his bachelor party at Jake's house, which is in walking distance from the foundation where we live.  Jake invited us to the party.  I was amazed when I stepped into his house.  It looked like the set of a movie, or something from disney world.  It was not that big but it was so beautifully designed. There was one huge room with gorgeous light green spanish-looking tile floor.  some of the walls were just open to the outside and there was a walkway that was semi-outside surrounded by tropical plants leading to another room that was filled with sand on the floor and hammocks hanging from the ceiling.  to get to the upstairs there was a big winding wooden ramp.  the upstairs was just a platform with no walls, except for the doors to bedrooms. you could look down to the tile room one side and look down to the backyard on the other.  the sand room led to the backyard with an open bar and lots of good food.  there was a live band playing merengue/salsa in the big tile room and everyone was dancing.  We all had an amazing time.  It felt like I was in a party scene from a movie.  i have never been to such a fancy party at someone's house before.  There were definitely a lot of guys there that seemed to have too much money though.  they looked like they eat a lot of meat, drink a lot of beer, party a lot, and are still single, even though they are 30.  There were also supposedly diplomats and other important people at the party.  We felt pretty honored to be at such a swanky party but everyone was very inviting and friendly.  after talking to people at the party i feel like the virginia tech program here is well known and respected.  We are doing great things for the community and we are promoting the ecological foundation with the projects we do.  I am so glad to be here studying and helping people.
