Sweet Sixteen

Posted on by Marty Luster

photo This is our eldest grandchild, Priva, who turns 16 today. She is half Mexican and visits with her cousins in Mexico City every July. This year, the family had a belated quinceanera to celebrate her 15th birthday.

Priva lives in Brooklyn, is bi-lingual, an experienced traveller and a budding flutist.

The photo was taken by Guillermo Audelo, Priva’s cousin, in Mexico City.
