20 de Noviembre

Here we are at Angel's school in Gomez Palacios, Dgo., attending the "Kermese" held in honor of "20 de Noviembre." I decided to ask if Kenji could come to Angel's activities, rather than have him go to his schools "Kermese" activities alone, since they didn't allow parents to attend and they weren't going to do anything real traditional. Angel's school agreed to have relatives join them, so off we went to partake of some traditional foods, music, and festivities! Yay!

The idea of the "Kermese" was for people to buy the food they wanted to eat (for a much more reasonable price than normal) and through this avenue raise some funds for the school. You would pay at the "caja" stand and then get a little paper stating the food you were getting and then go exchange that paper/ticket for your delicious plate of food! It was fun for the boys to do that and they were quite happy to be doing so all on their own -- I didn't get pictures of that. :(

Anyways, they boys enjoyed themselves tremendously, had their fill on delicious Mexican food, and Kenji even got up to dance to some blarring Banda music! He loves it! My little gringo-Mexican, heh! I'll let the pix do the rest of the speaking. Enjoy! :)
