Get your gowns and tuxedos!

2 weeks ago we went to a formal graduation party. "Formal!" We laughed to ourselves because all we have is what we brought over in backpacks and nothing we would consider to be formal attire. We did the best we could. Some girls came dressed as they would for a meeting and others came in glittering gold gowns or floor length purple fluffy dresses. 

The party was held on a "cancha polifuncional" ( aka- basket ball court of sorts) every neighborhood has one. The party started at 9 pm and lasted till 2 am. Dinner was served at 11! I am surprised we were even able to take the pictures we did because there was hardly a moment we were not dancing to salsa, bachata, merengue or a waltz. When the typical Bolivian dances came on then the    " watch the giant white girl try to dance" show started and everyone had a good laugh.  The Bolivian dances are difficult!

Here is the dance floor.
