Last weekend Oscar and I and the family went to see my nieces, Sandra and Mónica, perform in the end-of-the-year school play. Each grade level represented a different time period in Spanish history. My nieces danced a traditional dance from Madrid called the ¨Chotis¨. They were adorable! I kept waiting for Yankee Doodle to come out from behind the curtain but then realized where I was. Since we were in Spain, no play would be complete without Goya and Carmen and they were both characters in the play. Some things are the same even half way around the world, though ... the big show took place in the school gym without air conditioning and with homemade props. Afterwards, we went back to the girls house for lunch. My brother-in-law, Pedro, made paella and it was delicious.
Mónica is in the middle of the picture but you can´t tell which one she is. The picture was too adorable to pass up, though. The boys were so cute with thier hats on and the girls had big red flowers in their hair covered with a white scarf.
After the show, Oscar bought us ice pops. They were a nice treat on such a hot day. The girls had a good time at the after party on the school playground.
