Panuelos



Sunday 21 October 2006

Many Argentine folk dances use hankerchiefs, the women spinning them in the air, the men using them to try and capture the women.

This picture was taken at the wedding of our friends Sandra and Alan. Both of them play in folk music bands, so fittingly, their wedding celebration was basically a great big concert. They played, along with dozens of other traditional bands, while the people danced and ate great quantities of meat. Two children's dance troups performed, wowing us with their footwork. (Look for Ryan's photos of the kids, soon to come on his site!)

It was an excellent day, and we left tired and happy.
