Over the weekend, I learned about a Peruvian tradition: inaugurating newly built roofs of houses. The tradition is to hang two bottles of champagne and flowers from the roof and select a Madrina and Padrino to break the bottles. Then the fiesta begins with a huge meal, to feed those that helped build the roof, and lots of drinking and dancing. I was selected by my neighbor to be Madrina of his roof and honored that role as best as could!
