31/12/6

It’s amazing. I have been to more parties since the 14^th of December than I have been to in the last three years. There was a karaoke party at the local corner store to celebrate their expansion into a new store on the 14^th. The local pescaria, which buys and sells fish, had a karaoke party on the 16^th. We were invited by the owner’s uncle, but we found out later that a large minority of the fishermen thought it should only be for the fishermen. Half the people there weren’t fishermen. I had checked the invitation, but should have double-checked. We had a good time, and felt welcome. We didn’t know until the next day we weren’t welcomed by everyone. On the 21^st Eric had a party to welcome his friends from California, Richard and Janette. Mike had a pig roast on Christmas Day, Eric had a pig roast on the 26^th, and a chicken roast on the 27^th. On the 28^th, Richard treated at Bar Mario’s, and with the tourist crowd here, and about 13 of us in our party, the place really got hoppin’. On the 29^th, Jose Sirias came by and invited us to their party, which was a pleasant change, because there was no alcohol there.

Last night we rested. Tonight is New Year’s Eve at Jim’s, and tomorrow we might go to Coyolito for a party at Rafa’s sisters. This holiday season in Punta Morales has not been boring.

Happy New Year
