This
is a continuation page from Hash #523: Sunday,
January 23rd - Paracotos To get back to the first page, click here. As we left the 1st part of
the story, the Hash group had finished the run/walk & was taking a
break... |
||
|
|
||
 |
 |
 |
| The "Down - Down" circle was convened after a refreshment & swim break. | ||
|
|
||
 |
 |
 |
| The B-day Boy, Host & Hostess, and Kitchen-Helpers ... | ... were re-introduced and asked to drink! | OK, next, are there any "virgins" new to the Hash tradition? |
|
|
||
 |
 |
 |
| You, you & you... | ... and you, you & you. | Wow, there are lots of new folks! |
|
|
||
 |
 |
 |
| Please introduce yourself, identify who "made you come", and what brings you to Caracas. | ||
|
|
||
 |
 |
 |
| In the background, many "Down-Downs" are prepared. | What's going on over there? | Just a little trouble with Security ... just give him a beer! |
|
|
||
 |
 |
 |
| What, another interruption? | OK, finally, back-to-back... | ... and finish your drink! |
|
|
||
 |
 |
 |
| Anna has to return home (Finland) and was called up for a "goodbye down-down". | She also showed us what to do with any beer you cannot finish; yup, on top of her head! | Michael "Mother" was also on his last visit & came up with other reasons to celebrate. |
|
|
||
 |
 |
 |
| He also led us in his now-famous "tongue-holding" song. | Then there was time for announcements, and then for a ........ | |
|
|
||
... Christening! After 5-10 hashes you attain a "Hash Name". Jose Luis drinks & becomes known as "Undercarriage" ... ... his wife is
"Airplane Lady"; |
 |
 |
|
|
||
 |
 |
 |
| Another hash tradition... passing of the "Hash Hat" | The previous & new holders have to add a token to the hat. | After the "hat down-down" the focus changed to the BBQ. |
|
|
||
 |
 |
 |
| The burger patty mashers... we don't need to wonder what was going on in their minds! | ||
|
|
||
 Special thanks to Iain and Patrick for overseeing our food production... |
 |
 Quite a few people put effort into these hashes; thank you to all the planners, sherpas & helpers! |
|
|
||
 |
 |
 |
| Clang, clang, clang ... ... the BBQ is ready! | Luckily the queue was friendly. | |
|
|
||
 |
 |
 |
| Some people made good use of the hill as a make-shift table. | ||
|
|
||
 |
 |
 |
| Some ate standing up and discussed worldly issues. | Others listened to heroic stories which resulted in injuries. | Only a few didn't care about any of the dinner activities! |
|

 |
 |
| Our
day at Paracotos ended when the sun started down. Thanks again to Henry (Club Host), the hash hosts & helpers for a very nice adventure. |
