Playing with our new dog Violeta in the pool.

Kindergarten end of year party

Clara and Melania in their not-for-long-clean summer uniforms. We love the uniform because it has ended our customary morning arguments on how pink delicate sandals are inappropiate to spend the day running around when  it is 5 C outside.

An intermediate between songs.

With her Kindergarten teacher and her end-of-kinder medal.

Laternenfest in Clara's school

LaternenFest in the German School. I have gained 5 kilograms since we came back home...

 

The children had to walk around in the darkened gym because it was raining outside. It was terribly hot in there. We enjoyed it anyways.

The childres sang German songs while we eated Sauerkraut, pork and potato salad. We felt a bit back in Dresden.

The Procesión of the Virgin

We found these very elegant gauchos making a procession on December 8th in Atos Pampa, Calamuchita (in the countryside). They wend behind an image of the Virgin, making a 'procesión'. Look Ana, I think the hat is the same people use in Andalucía. The boots should be like an acordeon like here. The women wear long skirts but there were some dressed as men too.

 

They carried the flag. The girls are wearing men´s clothes. Los Reartes is the name of a town nearby.

This one was particularly elegant. He had (silver?) coins in the belt (faja). The horse is wearing metal jewlery, too.

Children also participated.
