Celebrating the end of the year: Tico Style
Last week
we were invited to partake in a very exciting event in Quepos. The Maria Luisa
school in Boca Vieja, a community where we teach English, had invited a group,
Banda de Conciertos de Puntarenas, to perform for the school as an end of the
school year celebration. We had no idea what to expect as we carried hundreds
of chairs from the school to a communal field while students, families, and
members of the community alike piled into the covered arena. What we expected
to be a normal school assembly turned into fits of laughter and screams of
terror as the group acted out different short stories, danced to Michael
Jackson´s Thriller, and acrobats swung from ´telas´ about 6 meters in the air!
Being able
to take part in typical customs is such an exciting and crucial part of experiencing
life abroad, but we never expected to have such an amazing time with this one!
