Last night the sub comandante's daugher celebrated coming of age at La Cancha. It was a beautiful ceremony and extra fun for us because we invited
Udo, Jana & Iflyfish to the fiesta as they had never been to one before. The theme colour was my favorite shade of purple and a good band from
Guerrero Negro played....apart from the chilly north wind, all was like a fairy tale...here are some images from the evening.
Here is the entourage of family & padrinos
here are the 10 damitas who were pretty chilly
here are the padrinos with the womanly shoes & the barbie doll she gives away signifying giving up her girlish toys
the father came over personally to open the champagne bottles for the toast...he was a very proud papa!
Iflypaparazzi on the loose
this was the toast to the young woman
It was wonderful to share this cultural experience with our amigos...next party.....tomorrow

woody....he's a cop man...that's how they are supposed to look in photos! jejeje
hmmmm, not sure about the 2 barbies...often they throw one and the catcher gets the prize barbie...they presented the youngest neice with one at the
beginning too....maybe there was a two for one sale?

What an Asuncion quinceanera looks like at about 2 am. 
This was a different quinceanera.

I'm looking at the photos for the first time here at Mama Ezpinoza's...(the closest I've come to my home internet).
Now I see why you didn't answer the door at about 8:15 a.m.
FABULOUS experience, Shari!
p.s. thanks for the re-touch job our Jana and my photo!
