Desfile

On Saturday the kids had a desfile (march) at school to celebrate the fiestas patrias (patriotic holiday). They put on traditional peruvian costumes. They both wore costumes from La Sierra (the mountains). Angelica and Pablo from the Boynton team went with us.

Pablo and Angelica getting into the peruvian spirit, which is awesome, because they are chileans.

Kilaine often asks me questions about "our country." It took me a little while to figure out that she was talking about Peru.
