Parade for Santo Pedro

with our recycled candleholders, and trashbags at our side, all of us at el terreno made our way into Guanujo for the parade de saint pedro. A celebration of light where people all carry candles. our theme was Going Green, so we picked up trash along the route. after participating in a dance battle we were set free and given free reign over the party. I ate some fried rice with an empanada con azucre. they also served a drink made up of sugar, cinnamon, oranges, pinaple and parajo azul (a local liquor which tastes a bit like black liquorish and smells like bananas) which is served in recycled 1-2 L bottles for around $2. I was so tired after dancing. we arrived back at the casa communal at midnight, ready to get on the road to ecuadors Adventure sports capital Baños at 5:30 the next day! more to come from bañosLes mer
