50th Birthday in Bosques de Escazu

Ilana's 50th birthday party was a smashing success.  We rented out the poolside clubhouse at Bosques de Escazu, hired a karaoke dj, bought a ton of wine, beer, chips and salsa, and invited a great group of 40 friends to celebrate with.  When each of our guests arrived, Tara, our gracious master of ceremonies, placed a name on their back for them to divine who they are through yes/no questions.  Then, after an hour of karaoke and dancing, Tara m.c.'ed a hilarious trivia game, translated into Spanish by Erik P.-- a good sport!  The birthday cake was mocha chocolate chip and delicious.  Who would have thunk that we'd be line dancing poolside and listening to Latino techno pop and having a great time in Costa Rica for Ilana's 50th.
