New Years was awesome here in Maraita. I walked around visiting families and eating at just about every stop :D I spent the evening with one of my friends and her family doing some more eating, and dancing......only to then be presently surprised by a visit from “El Año Viejo” aka the old year:
The tradition is someone creates a scarecrow looking dude that represents this past year - El Año Viejo. He comes around to all the houses, and for a tip, you get the opportunity to dance with this beautiful man. So for fun and laughs, I danced with the scary and dirty Año Viejo only to realize he weighed a ton. Makes sense – 2010 was a challenging year:
Then at midnight to say goodbye to 2010 they burn this scarecrow looking dude in the central park who is also filled with firecrackers. Burning Man Honduras style. Its an awesome show! Check out the video above.
