são joão


Today was the last day of school for the kids. The elementary school does a big party for São João--the children dress up like caipiras (country folk), and do traditional songs and dances and eat traditional São João food (lots of corn dishes).

R. has been practicing his São João song for weeks for anyone who'll listen, and was right up in front doing all the hand motions.

Very cool! Love the pictures. What cute kids in all their country attire.
I bet the kids are excited to have a break. Probably a bit sad too at having to say goodbye to their friends.
Thanks for sharing!
