Feliz 28, mi gente!
Today is Peruvian Independence Day, the day we recognize the anniversary of José de San Martín's declaration of independence from Spain in 1821.
We celebrated yesterday by eating and drinking, and dressing up our daughter in her Marinera outfit.
We're kicking off Peruvian Culture Week at Can You Dig It? with info on the Marinera, the national dance of Peru.
A guy named Mitch did a very cool documentary, Soy Andina, which "tells the intersecting stories of two New Yorkers – a modern/hip-hop dance dancer raised in Queens, and a folkloric dancer from the Andes – on a dazzling odyssey through Peru in search of roots and a world of folkloric dance."

I love the bare toes peeking out from under her dress. :-)
