During my first month in site, I had the pleasure of attending my host sister's graduation from primaria! It was a really cool look into Peruvian graduation traditions. All of the girls wear dresses of the same colors, the boys wear matching ties, they go through a flowered arch with their parents and receive gifts from the school! It was a wonderful event and I'm so grateful my host family included me in this event. Here you can see a traditional hora loca. Everyone gets hotdog style balloons to wave about as they dance alongside the party DJs. While this was technically my second Hora Loca, it my first with a guy on stilts! The kids also got party bags with Hora Loca costumes!
