Attending any festive activity for the first time in a different culture is always interesting. Different foods and rituals, one never knows what to expect! We received an invitation to the birthday party of Josué and Ariana. The party was to start at 4pm and guests didn’t start arriving until 4:30ish and instead of unwrapping the gifts at one time during the party, as soon as a guest walked in the door with a present, Josué and Ariana opened the gift immediately!!
The food served at the party was Tacos Ticos. They were similar to flautas (rolled up, fried tortillas with beef inside), topped with shredded cabbage, mayo and ketchup. They were served in a small plastic bag that would catch some of the cabbage that would fall from our mouths. I think we used quite a few napkins trying to wipe off the mayo and ketchup from our faces!! Definitely not a food you would want to eat on a first date!! Check out some of the pictures from the party…I’m sure you’ll get a kick out of them!!
