aniversario, party, anniversary, fiesta
Well, I could upload some pics of the anniversary.
It was last Sunday 16. I just could take photos of the meal. After that we went to the beach, but I didn't take the camera.

...
Last night I went to the festival of the end of courses of public High School in my city. I don't teach there, but many students, friends of mine, invited me, so I went with my family and some friends.
It was fantastic. Lots of hours of typical dances and performances! I forgot the camera, so I had to use my mobile phone to take some photos... So here I will post some of them!
This is a typical dance of our folcklore. Dancers are wearing typical clothes.
The time for Flamenco, spanish dance. I love Flamenco and I'd like my daughter could learn to dance it when she grow up. She likes to dance!
Other typical dance of our folcklore. It's called "Pericón" and it's a partners dance. Men are called "gauchos" in the countryside, and women are called "chinas". This is a dance that represents countryside life style, and it's too long to dance. There are many "sections" and the music is based in guitars. There are funny parts, when the gauchos want to conquest the chinas, and many times they are rejected. It's something nice to listen to. When I was a boy, I danced this in school. It's a great thing, specially because it keeps in mind our identity and folcklore. Once I will try to explain more of our culture.
As you see, photos are not very good. But is the best I could do, I lament to forget the camera.
Next week it will be the Festival of the school where I teach, so I will be there and try to give you my impressions!
Greetings for everyone!
