Nations Night!

What a night!! Our Church invited all the other churches in Salta to join us on saturday for a dinner and nations night. Of course we represented Northern Ireland. Well all had to dress up in costumes and to be honest the argentines look more scottish people which made us laugh! The day before we spent all day making irish dancing skirts and to be honest we looked a bit like pixies in them. So imagine this, a black waist coat which looked so cheap, white t-shirts and different shades of green for a skirt! For about 2 weeks I taught the girls some irish dancing and I don´t think i've laughed so much in my life. Bless them, they really did try but Naomi looked more like a farmer dancing to a barn dance than an irish dancer. Although it looked great on the night so we were over the moon although we had to do a drama thing at the start due to the music, hence the picture. Our theme was all about the conflict in Northern Ireland and how much the place has progressed over the years. Just relieved we didn´t have to sing again! The other costumes from the different churches where class, so much effort went into them. Countries including China, Mexico, Arabia, Mozambique, Brasil... the list goes on! Each country had to give a ten minute presentation etc which including belly dancing and dramas about drugs etc and of course our "gorgeous" irish dancing. The night finished abit like the olympic torch.. each country got a torch which we made and had to go up the front with it, totally beautiful!

I've added some photos! Enjoy and try not to laugh too hard!
