Civics Week!!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, we have been busy moving into a new house. Now that we are settling in, I wanted to post on Civics Week. In Costa Rica, Indepedence Day is the 15th of September. Every year they have a week full of patriotic events leading up a big Independence Day parade in Cobano in which there are participants from all the surrounding areas including Montezuma, Cobano, Tambor, and Santa Teresa. The parade starts a little way past the medical clinic and then goes through town and finishes at the town gymnasium (where all the community events are held). It was a long way to walk! I was in the ribbons group, we did a ribbon dance.

My sister was in the band. All of the instruments were made from recycled materials.
