Quinceñera Sunday!

After waking up this morning, we took all our decorations and we put them up in the Comedor. When we finished, it looked so amazing! The entire place was pink and purple. After we finished, we ate lunch and just chilled with the kids. Around 3:30 we all got into our decent clothes and went up the the Comedor for mass. It was really interesting to see a mass that also involved the girls who were celebrating their quinceñera. They received a special blessing and they were also in the procession. After mass, we quickly rearranged the Comedor for dinner. When everything was in order, everybody took their seats and dinner was served. Dinner was Chicken Cordon Bleu with mashed potatoes, steamed carrots and broccoli, and fresh buns. After everyone was finished eating dinner they cut the five tiered cake. The cake was a lemon poppy seed which tasted really really good! After cake was dished out, they moved the tables from the center of the Comedor and the band started playing. All of us Americanos from Estados Unidos went up and did our best to salsa dance. I enjoyed it very much and I am pretty sure everyone else did too. When the Black Eyed Peas came on, all of us started jumping and singing along. We continued to dance for the next three hours and when the chaperons told us we had to leave, we were all disappointed. We all agreed that this dance was way better than any school dance that any of us have ever been to. Even as I am writing this Keaton is still bummed about how he isn't dancing to the techno music that we can hear from our house. I think it is safe to say that tonight was one of the best nights that we have had during our time here. We are all tired here and tomorrow we are heading to Antigua to tour the city and stay in the hotel. We will be home before you know it. This is Collin Plante saying, "Goodnight" from Guatemala. A shout out to my family, I love you and miss you all. God Bless!
