Is it a goat, a penguin or a seal fetus? These were some of the questions we asked ourselves as we made our homemade piñata for Cinco de Mayo. What started out as 5 balloons, soon turned into a blob and then finally, with some creativity, transformed into a penguin with a belly full of secrets and mysteries the likes of which we've never seen (as Adam so eloquently stated).
The whole process of making the penguin was a lot of fun...good times with my Palmer friends. While we thought our idea of making a piñata was totally original, it turns out that this happened last year and probably in years past as well.

I should mention that in the midst of our Cinco de Mayo festivities, the Laurence M. Gould was also making an early return journey back to Palmer from a fishing trip due to a medical situation on board. At around 2:00 a.m. the next morning, under the cover of darkness, 3 brave Palmerites, who did not partake in the margheritas customary at a Cinco de Mayo party, drove out to the Gould in a zodiac and helped the patient on board. As it stands now, I believe the patient is ok and the Gould will remain here, tied to the pier, until Friday.
