last week i attended my first quiñce celebration. needless to say, it was quite the party. the party was for a friend of my sister, norma. we had a blast, though to be honest, i was far from having my health renewed. the best part was probably having my mom ask me to go dance with my sister, which meant i essentially joined a few dozen 14-year-olds on the dance floor. let’s just say that i showed that middle school dance who’s the boss.
also, it is peruvian quiñce tradition that the birthday girl be presented at midnight…which made this night my latest night out since being in peru…partying late with the sis and mom.
quite the formal setting in a local restaurant.
mi máma y hermana, norma.
the grand entrance.
her first dance…which lasted about 20 minutes and she danced with every male figure in her family. this was followed with additional speeches given by every single male in her extended family.
so much clapping was involved. also, i love that kid on the right’s flock of seagulls hairdo.
mi hermana and sus amigas.
throw your hands up in the air like you just don’t care.
