Today was Rikke’s birthday party/going away celebration hosted at our house. Rikke, the 29-year old, super-cool chica, is leaving El Porvenir this week to do some traveling around Central America and return to her boyfriend/family in Denmark. The party started at 7pm, so people started arriving around 8pm (Honduran time..lol). Family, friends, neighbors, volunteers, and of course the local favorites were invited. We had tons of food and drink, and plenty of cake! A tradition in Honduras is to sing “Happy Birthday” and then decorate the celebrated person’s face with the cake icing. Jorge did the honors for Rikke. After some of the little ones and older people left, the party continued when Liz ( A volunteer from Portland) and I introduced Beer Pong to Honduras. Yes… College Park has arrived. Felt just like home…
