Julio´s 7th Birthday Party

Julio, my host family´s son tured 7 while I was in Antigua. The family held a huge party at their house, with 100 invitees to celebrate. They expect this to be the last year for which he wants a piñata (a large paper shape which the children hit until it breaks and the sweets inside fall to the ground). Therefore, all his friends, their parents and all the cousins came to the house for a party. Because of the rains, which usually occur in the afternoon, the party started at 10am. The two piñatas, in the shape of cars, were a huge success. I was the only "gringo" but was made to feel very welcome by all.
