Beating Drums and Fiesta Time

With drums beating, sky rockets shooting into the evening air and celebrating people marching in a fiesta parade today was the kick-off of our village yearly festival. Within a few days I know from past experience our house will be invaded by family members, friends and folks we have no idea where they come from… All to celebrate fiesta time and partake in the food my wife Beng has prepared. Fiestas are a big event here in the Philippines and Beng is excited since it will the first fiesta held our new home “The Big House.” Me I’m going to do my best to hide out.
