29. The ride home from one awesome Estonian summer party in NJ

Mon Feb 20, 2012, 12:13 PM

Feb 2012

We Estonians like to party. And drink.
We had a beach party the morning after the main party, and everyone got totaled on the beach. I think this was in 1968, before I got my drivers license.
Some guy from the party gave a ride to several of us who lived in northern NJ.
Everyone was drunk.
As we headed away from Point Pleasant, the driver had to stop every half mile or so to let someone barf on the side of the road, including himself.
I was scared shitless.
I pulled a towel over my head and prayed the entire way home.
