Daddy and his princesses: there was such a family feel to the day.
Today we took a bus ride out to Carmona, a small city 40 km from Sevilla that was having some sort of Feria this weekend. The entire town was shut down and everyone flocked to the Fairgrounds fully decked out in their multi-colored Flamenco Dresses. I felt so plain in my jean skirt. People were riding on horses, eating lavish meals, socializing, playing carnival games or riding amusement park rides.
Girls of all ages had on their dress, with a tasseled shawl, a flower in their hair, bright red lipstick, a fake mole on the cheek, and matching shoes.
From every corner of the city, people flocked to the fair grounds.
Literally everyone was dressed in Flamenco dresses. The variety was amazing and together they made quite a ruffly rainbow down the street.
It was a hot afternoon, these girls stand in the shade enjoying an ice cream
Mmm, the pop-cicles are delicious
Mom kept trying to keep her out of that fountain but...she knew how to stay cool
The kids, of course, were excited about the carnival games.
Its no big deal to ride the amusement park rides in dresses...
Notice the fake cigarette in this girl's hands. She and her friends thought they were sooo cool to be puffing on them like the older girls. Its a little sad that Europe is so plagued by cigarette smoke
,Enough pictures all ready! This girl began crying as daddy took out his camera
Even the boys got to dress up. These caballeros are too cute!
