Birthday Weekend

This past Saturday was my host mom's birthday. The family stayed up to 12 o'clock on Friday night to sing Happy Birthday to her. My host grandmom made an interesting layer cake with the manjar and marshmallow mix being smeared on top of 20 layers of thinly baked dough.

For her birthday, I gave my host mom my brown winter coat as gift which she has been coveting since I got here. To celebrate she went out with her friends to a bar/dance club in Antofagasta. The most random songs get played here. On Saturday I heard Salsa, reggaeton, Spanish pop music, Karma Chameleon, Take on me, footloose, as well as spanish songs from the 80's. Very eclectic mix.
