Fiesta de Belen
Sunday, October 7th, 2007Talking of Birthdays, I really should also mention Belen´s birthday party. For a three year old it was once hell of a celebration, they were planning it for months and I think we estimated that they spen the best part of $1000 on it. Now I know parties and I know that thats not necessarily unreasonable amount but remember we were here to volunteer in this place where the people couldn´t afford reall staff?!
Still, it was a great party by Galapagos standards, even if Belen herself was a little overwhelemed by most of it. Clearly the real key to a succesful childrens party is to play load and inapropriate regaton music and shout at all the small children to “Dance, dance!” Who knew.
