Fiesta at school

---

On friday at school there was a big fiesta for the national holiday (which is on the 18th). They really go all out for this holiday... there were lots of decorations, costumes, dances and food at school and then we have the whole week off from school this week.

I took about a million and a half pictures of the dances, especially because some of my friends were dancing in a cueca competition of some sort (cueca is the national dance) but this is just a small selection of the pictures.

viva la cueca
Tammy, It all looks wonderfully fun, how simple life seems there compared to the crazy times here. Can't wait to have you back and hope you are having a good time. Thanks for the great pics of the fiesta.
