Feliz Cumpleanos Tio Hugo!

We celebrated Tio Hugo's birthday at his tiny, humble, little home down the street. There were lots of family there and we got a chance to meet more of my cousins. We finally got to see Cousin Alvaro who was only 13 years old when we last saw him when in Hawaii in 1992! He is now all grown up and a doctor specializing in Gynecology. Alvaro's speaks excellent English (Shown here Sheri). We had a blast and we were finally able to have the 6 siblings together for a picture before Abuelita Gina goes into the hospital. (Bottom row from left to right is Tia Lucia, Abuelita Gina, Tia Teresa, and Tia Chela. The handsome boys are Tio Carlos and Tio Hugo the birthday boy with smile). Once again we had great food, lots of wine, great company, and of course our Patron which my dad had to go back to Grandma Gina's apartment to get after we had forgotten it. We had been searching all over town for this bottle and couldn't find it anywhere and finally my mom brings a bottle from a Duty Free store somewhere along the way here and then we forget it for our last party. Everyone loves the Patron! We're so glad to be able to spread the joy of Patron around the world. Tia Veronica called the next day and told Susie she loved the Patron so much she was going to call the Duty Free store here in Chile to try and get some Patron - another fan!! Everyone had such a good time, the party didn't end until 3:00 am!
