These are the final pictures. Also as a treat for the kids, I made a huge batch of sugar cookies, and delicious icing, and even the adults had a ball decorating cookies. Over all it was amazing, and now I know that throwing a party is very costly, hard, tiring, but incredibly worth it.
These are more photos. In total, we only hosted 14 people, but we made Taco salad, brusheta, sesame-fried chicken, chips, vegatables & Dip, wraps, and the for dessert, a special brownie treat with candy apples. And then we gave out candy bags to signify trick-or-treating. Even some of the kids tried to dress up(and my sister and her boyfriend who are kids at heart). It was a great success.
Below is myself, and my sister Karol. My brother Rafita and I. Rafita dancing with my mom, Roxa. Which I learned is a tradition at this type of graduation ceremony. And there is a live Mariache. Also, there was live dancers with huge feather hats playing these incredible drums. They were almost hynostic, because they made you just want to dance. I had a fantastic time, and it was nice to see a different type of Graduation/Prom.
This is what we do in my town to celebrate Costa Rica's Independence Day. All the kids dress up, and play instruments. It was so cute to see. More pics to come.
Here are just random vegetables. Most of them we have except the one that looks like a pumpkin plant. I think it is called Ai Chote. (not sure about the spelling though)
