Happy Birthday Fatty!



The birthday party was so fun!

We arrived around 3:30 and stayed past 9. I just loved that evening, so much. Elba's family was so friendly and nice. They didn't all speak English but they all made me feel so welcome.

Mustaches were the theme of the evening and so even our drinking straws had mustaches attached. So hipster over here.

On an unhipster note, "Fatty" (Gordo) is a popular nickname and what the birthday boy's family calls him. Not just as a joke. Really, they call him Fatty. He answers to it. And refers to himself as Fatty, as in "This is Fatty."

We Americans are still boggled by it.
