Edwin's "Traditional" Birthday Party

Our friend Colombia threw a birthday party for her husband Edwin in which almost everyone wore traditional Panamanian dress, including us, but tragically we don't have a photo! Jim got by with a guyabera, which is not traditional but at least is in the ballpark as a short-sleeved linen shirt worn untucked. Kellee wore a vasquino, similar to Colombia's in the photo, which is derived from Spanish basque traditional clothing, and is basically a white linen shirt with lacy frills. We have yet to buy traditional Panamian hats, but have plans to buy some soon. You can listen to some of the music here.
