The girls' school -- Instituto Americano (Amerinst for short) celebrated its 101st anniversary. Yes 101 -- they don't celebrate 100 here. The school had a one week long celebration, with cheers and formations from each grade, a sports day, a square dance (can you believe it?!) and a traditional parade down the main street of the city, called El Prado. Amanda dressed in a t-shirt depicting an environmental theme, and Kayla dressed in traditional Afro-Bolivian costume.
Glad to hear you are settling in and have had some opportunity to travel and see some of the facinating surroundings. The girls look adorable in their native garb....even if they dont exactly blend in! Keep posting!
