Noche de Paz (Revisited)
One night, we met at neighbor’s house for homemade Rompope (rum, sugar cane, and I don’t know what else, but it makes egg nog seem like water, it’s so potent), and carol singing. At least four languages were represented, and most of us could sort of sing a few of the same songs. We taught the locals the English and German words to “Silent Night” and they taught us their version of the song – “Noche de Paz.” Armed with this song, “Feliz Navidad,” and “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” we formed a merry band of singers and strolled up and down the packed-sand roads, knocking at the doors of people we knew to be home, and offering our song.
