We had rice, chicken, potatoes, cabage, salad with tomatoes and vinegar, cooked carrots and hard-boiled eggs. For dessert there was also this frozen treat, that had pineapple and coconut. Everyone enjoyed it, well, except me and the coconut part. I had to pass on the dessert, not a big fan of coconut!
After dinner we spent quite a while looking at photos and chatting about kids. It was great for me to be able to have a common ground with the women here. As soon as Jenny found out I was having a boy, she laughed. Natanael, has quite a lot of energy and had a grand 'ol time riding his bike with training wheels on it ALL around the house. Crashing into walls and people and giggling the whole time. It was a real eye-opener as to what I have to look forward to in four years. Children are so charished in this country and it will be fun to raise little ones in this culture.
The electricity went out and it was awesome just to sit around with friends and talk by candle light. It kinda inspired me to get a few candles and the next time our electricity goes out, flip off our inverter. Just something as simple as candle light can make a gathering so much more intimate.
Below are a couple photos from the night. ENJOY!
