For the auspicious occasion of my 22nd birthday, Demetria made a colossal banana cake which we consumed following the traditional Paraguayan asado (barbecued meat). Demetria’s sons Hector and Alfredo, Alfredo’s wife Liza and son Leo, Peter the other volunteer and Margaret the manager of the English courses were all there.
Here is the festal spread:

I was sung to in Spanish, English and Guarani and made to
blow the candle out three times so that Demetria could take a photo to her
satisfaction.
In South America people have reached a whole new level in the art of cake-cutting, pictured below. It makes so much
sense!
