Youth Day

I remember always asking when I was younger why there wasn't a kids day in the US? There is Mother's Day, Father's Day, but what ever happened to the kids? And reason #4629472919 why Paraguay is the perfect match is because they have a day of youth!!!

That doesn't sound quite as good translated as it should.  Dia de la juventud.  On September 21st every year there is a day to celebrate the youth in the country.  There is also a day in august to celebrate the younger kiddos.  But the school puts on a little fiesta for both with music and food that the kids really enjoy.  

The principal dressed up as a famous singer here in Paraguay and obviously there was a guest dancer, The American. Not my favorite moment.  "Show us how you dance in America!!" With all my students watching.... 

Not my favorite moment, thats for sure.  The cultural differences really get me when it comes to stuff like that. But either way I survived and stayed long enough to get a delicious lunch :-)

Here's some photos! Yay youth! You're the best!!
