Christmas in El Salvador
This holiday we were invited to go to El Salvador for my friend Luis’ daughter quinzenaro (think wedding size party to celebrate a fifteen year old’s birthday). It is a BIG deal in the Hispanic community. MaryBeth, the kids and my mom spent Christmas with Luis’ family and saw quite a bit of El Salvador: from beaches, to volcanoes, to sugar making, to a preschool holiday party, to street parties, to fireworks (EVERYWHERE), to a mall in San Salvador. It was a wonderful trip.
Then came the PARTY. My daughter and younger son were both in the court (think wedding party) of almost 2 dozen boys and girls. They had a ball. My daughter loved the beautiful “princess” dresses she got to wear, and my son danced with the kids all night. No language barrier could keep them from making friends and having fun. My older son played is DS much of the time, as usual, but also seemed to enjoy experiencing a different culture. Still we were all happy to come home to tap water you can drink and toilets where you can flush the tissue.
Here are a few pictures from the trip. Hope you enjoy them.
Who stand outs here?
