While I was in Canada, Children's Day was celebrated. At
one of our satellite schools in Las Delicias, our students joined with the
kindergarten and primary students to help host a variety of activities.

| Gooooo Cowboy |
One of the most fascinating cowboy events is where pieces
of ribbon are pinned to a string with clothespins. Riders then try to capture
one of the ribbons with a pointed stick while passing at a gallop. A great deal
of skill is needed. Several weeks ago, I stopped to watch an event and saw my
first female competitor. She was obviously good because she had several
handkerchiefs tied to her belt (each successful 'stab' wins a handkerchief (the
kind you can tie around your neck in cowboy style - or around the neck of some
lady presumably). One of the photos shows the kindergarten version of this
event.
I'll let the pictures say the rest.
