Roscon, a traditional cake eaten on this day. The tradition is for each person to cut a slice from the cake and there are two little "prizes" hidden in the cake. One is a little figurine and if you get that prize, depending on who you talk to, you are king/queen for the day or you get luck for a year. The other figurine, which sometimes is a hard candy, means that you have to pay for the roscon.
A new friend, Pablo, who's from Argentina. He is Esther's neighbor and was invited to celebrate the day with us.
My friend Esther- she received the prize!

The roscon.Dinner with Friends at Diego's House: Jan 8th
The delicious dinner cooked for us by Diego and Javi. They are great cooks.
For dessert we had roscon, which was filled with cream. Javi and Diego acting as bride and groom while cutting the roscon together....silly boys!
My good friends Laura (from Scotland) and Kyle (from Wisconsin). The dinner was nice, just the five of us eating some delicious food and enjoying great conversation until 3am. I just love the mixing of nationalities; you never know what will come from it!Cheers!
