Family Friends

On the weekends it is normal for us to visit a friends, or for someone to come to our house and have dinner. Each of these meetings goes about the same way. First we share a ‘ápero’ which is a variety of salty snacks with soda or alcoholic beverages (for adults). After chatting for a while everyone heads to dinner. The kids go and play in this time, sometimes preforming musicals and skits later in the night. Dinner is long and followed by much conversation. After an hour or longer of talking coffees are made and dessert is served. Dessert s almost always brought by the family who is coming, and is almost always homemade. My host mother makes very good desserts, pictures included.
