Basque dance and dinner

Every year we attend a Basque festival. We dance traditional dances, auction off a lamb, and eat really good food. One of the unique aspects of Boise is that it is a sister city to Gernika (city in northern Spain).

My little boy (next to his cousin) wears a traditional Basque beret (txapela) passed down from my husband's grandfather.  Also, a handmade, white, linen shirt that I bought in San Sebastian (Donostia). A pair of trousers, thick wool socks, and a pair of dancing shoes (abarkak).



I have on a white headscarf with beautiful stitching and my own wool socks and hard-cured, leather, dancing shoes.
