End of the Year highlights

I know I'm about four months behind on blogging, so here are some images from the end of last year.

.there was a dance contest at 12:30 on a very hot day at the Parish anniversary party. My partner was persistent though, and we actually ended up winning.
This is one of my favorites. Alvaro's Graduation. He is one of 10 chidren (in the middle somewhere) and we were asked to be his padrinos of photography at his graduation.

THis is one of my favorite people in Bolivia. Her name is Benedicta. She is amazing. She works with the chapel and has a very beautiful inner strength. She washes our clothes for us (since we can't' seem to fathom spending half a day per week washing them ourselves) and she stays at our house and feeds our dogs whenever we're gone.
This one was taken at our friend Zulma's wedding, when I worked despartely to learn the wedding march in 3 days on violin. This is my first backless Christmas dress by the way.
