December 25- 31 is the Feria in Cali, basically a week long party.
The first day I went to the Salsodromo with my family, a salsa parade. It was really crowded, it reminded me of the State Fair.
This is from the Cabalgata, another parade, but with horses. Some kids had carioca, foam spray, so of course , being two white girls, we got sprayed a ton.
With my host mom and sister at my host cousin's wedding at the family's country house, it was only about 30 people, they're having a bigger wedding next year in Bogota. In Colombia, or at least for this wedding, everyone had to wear white, not only the bride.
Going out with some of the exchange students living in Cali, Morgan, USA, Javier, Mexico, Jakob, Austria, and Simon, Denmark.
New Year's Eve in Colombia is with the family, but my family was on vacation so I spent it with my friend Camilo's family.
We burned a doll, called año viejo, to end 2011 and bring in the new year. Before we lit it, everyone had to go whisper something they wanted to end with the old year in the doll's ear.
Bring it 2012, I'm ready!
