Last night we attended our first Quincinera- a traditional party for 15 year girls here. In our last posting, I mentioned birthdays aren't celebrated that much here. This is the one exception. Think wedding- fancy dresses, big cake, church ceremony and reception afterwards. My friend, Kathryn, (we've known each other since we were 10) is visiting from CT and came with me. We danced the Ecuadorian 2-step all night right along with the chickens and the dogs that were roaming about. We enjoyed a feast of country chicken soup (think rubber chicken) followed by pig skin and potatoes. Since we were gringos, we were the guests of honor and were served first and amply. Enjoy the video of everyone dancing!

Did anybody say take out from Taco Bell? Don't think we'd be partaking in the feast at this party. Sounds like you had a fun time though. Hope your visit with Kathryn was great! Talk soon, Love Mom & Dad B.
Mom and Dad B. you just cracked me up. I think I'll be joining them at Taco Bell...or maybe Wahoos for some fish tacos. :) Have fun with Kathryn and keep those dance moves flowin.
