Rocio was asked to be the godmother of the sports day at her college. This involved her dressing in a really quite impressive dress, made by the students from crepe paper and balloons!
There were speeches and singing of the Peruvian and Huancaino National anthems. I hadn't heard the Huancayo one before, only the folk music unofficial anthem. The various groups from the different sections of the college lined up and stood to attention through all this. There were woodworkers, welders, engineers, Rocio's Food Industry groups and others I can't remember.
If you look closely you can just make out Michael who had snuck into the back of the group to visit his friends before it all got too official for me to remove him.
They then marched a circuit of the arena and then the games commenced. Football for boys, volleyball for girls and table tennis. We had to leave a little early but I think they finished with three-legged races and egg-n-spoon races, thing like that.
Michael never likes to wear a hat but we try very very hard to keep one on him.
Here he is pulling it off for the hundredth time that day.
What a great event.
