Ermelinda's Quincinera

Last weekend, Ermelinda turned 15 and that is the biggest deal ever.  A quincinera party is like a wedding.  As you can see, she had her ladies, or her "damas", and they each had a partner.  It's a big party with formal processions and food and invitations.  The whole town was watching, even though most had to wait outside.  It was beautiful and wonderful to see one of our girls get to be a princess for a night.
