This past weekend my amazing counterpart, Riva, invited me to spend the weekend with her and her family in a town called San Carlos Sija! It was the town fair, and so there was lots going on...
|
First there was the Female Convite (women dress up in these incredible costumes and dance intricately coordinated moves to live music) |
|
This costume was my favorite! |
|
At the end of the event the women take off their masks so that everyone can see who they are! |
|
Riva´s family had their corn out drying in the sun... Check out the variety! |
|
I named this cutie Moonbeam! (Santa, all I want for Christmas is a baby cow) |
|
Riva´s kids and her nephew and niece, as we walk to town from the house... |
|
Sija´s soccer team playing verus Cabrican |
|
Sija´s female basketball team playing for the championship! |
|
The last day there was an Argentinian Horse Race! All of the men watching were decked out in boots and cowboy hats... Check out the little cowboy (too. cute.)
