oh and i forgot to write about the quinceanera
basically it was amazing. the dresses were so beautiful and each one of the dances that they had to perform was very good.
in case you don't quite know the set-up of a quinceanera, its for when a girl turns 15...kind of like the hispanic version of a batmizvah (sp??) but at an older age. Anyways, it usually ends up being almost as expensive as a wedding and the girl picks 14 of her friends to be in it with her. They go through three months or so of dancing classes where they are taught four types of dances. I think at this girl's quince there was a sort of classic waltz-ish dance first, then salsa, then hip-hop, and i dont remember what else. the girl also has to chose a dance partner/date
anyways the place was full of gorgeous cuban boys who all knew how to dance really well, which of course made me happy
and wine and champagne since i guess they thought i was 21 or just didn't care that i wasn't, which ALSO made me happy
annnd mariachis and a dance floor and a dj and steak and flan and...
a really pretty view of the city
needless to say, i was a little disappointed that i had decided not to have a quince...but too late
anyways, thats all
