Anniversario

I live in the boonies. Fact. Also fact, just a little father into the boonies is a semi-autonomous indigenous reservation known as the Comarca Embera-Wounaan Sambu. I have a few Peace Corps friends out there and on November 8th they had the anniversary of its foundation. For this a whole big group of volunteers got together in the main town of Puerto Indio (a fellow Peace Corps Volunteer's site) and celebrated with the locals! Festivities included a tug-of-war, dance contests, food stands, and a parade. I don't have a ton of photos from the two day affair but I can share a few.
