Ecuadorians are noted for their "festivals" or celebrations. This is true of most of Latin America. The local joke is that if there is not a reason to celebrate, we will create one. It is all part of the emphasis on people and on each other. They finds ways to "connect".
This series of pictures was taken this morning at school. We are celebrating senior citizens. The second grade teacher and her class put on a skit.
Of course, the proper dress and costumes needed to be worn. Some were a little strange, but they got the point across. The "couple" in this picture looked very grown up.
In the background, one sees other students of the second grade class with their appropriate dress. Watching second graders attempt to walk like old people was a hoot in itself.
Of course, the student body was on hand to see the performance. Just sit on the cement sidewalk or play area and enjoy the action. Nobody cares as long as we are out of class. Parents of class members showed up to support their child. Part of this was because parents had to bring the costumes and assist with the dressing. the entire skit took about 15 minutes. a good time was had by all!
The teacher, as is always the case, was most relieved when it was all over. She thanked everyone for their support.
The only downside of the entire celebration was that the teacher portrayed a 65 year old person. MJ and I were NOT laughing.

I like your comment on acting like a 65 yr. old.
You know they had to be observing some 65 year-olds to get the maneuvers correct. Stand up straight, square your shoulders, and it won't hurt so much.
Much younger,

Get used to it. It will get more intense as time moves on.

That is hilarious!!! Obviously they've been watching "old" people...65 to a 10 year old is "ancient". Remember when you were 10 and thought 30 was old? Doesn't seem old now does it? Amazing how our perception changes as we grow older. = ) Great pics by the way.
Love you!!!
