This last Wednesday we had a birthday party for Sarai. It was most adorable thing in the world. She was all dressed up in a cute, pink, little dress. She is one of the little ones here at Santo Tomas. Some friends came over for some entertaining sing-a-longs, food, and conversation - she even had a piñata. The birthday song here is different than in the States. They sing the whole happy birthday part, in a slight different rendition, and then end it by saying something along the lines of, “…hurry up so that we can eat your cake.” I’m sure that I’m missing some key parts, but whatever is said makes everyone bust up laughing. Kelly and I were able to try our first ever Peruvian birthday cake as well. It was interesting. Not quite as sweet as in the States. It was very decorative - each different color was a different (and somewhat fruity) flavor. Above all, it was a fun experience.
