nuevo año y infeccíon

First of all happy new year everybody!
The main idea or new year was, go to the beach, bake and have fun. Unfortunatly had mister foodinfection other plans. The frday when i wanted to leae i got killed by that infection. Esult, not to the coast because the food there is even wurse then in Quito, a diet and antibiotca...i loved it.

So Greek Angel, newyearssaver, took me for old year with him to an amazing family. These people were great, i was a complete stranger but became famil in 5 minutes. Around 3o clock we had a dinner- barbecue with delicious meat. No it wasnt fancy, we even took the meet with our hands, but there was so many friendlness and love around tat it felt great.

Old and new year are in ecuador pretty special. On the last days, people stqrt selling, buying, making, dressing up dolls, the ‘viejos’ of viejos anos. They are as big as a human and carry a rhyme- rijmpje- with a funny saying of a thing that happened in the old year. During the last day they make a testimony with things they wish for the futur year. Another typical thing for old year are the boys dressed up in woman and they stop every car to do an act and to collect some money. At mdnight, everybody is coming out wth his viejo, put it in the middle of the street- so every 3m there is laying down a doll- and start burning it. It was a special and emotional moment when you see the whole city burning and the whole street is saying happy new year to each other...

newyearsday was lovely, i went walking to guapuplo said ola to the old couple that was sitting next to the street and the sun was shining perfectly. Then i went to parque carolina to have a little rest...lovely....

aha, on saterday 30th i had kind of a date, meeting, whatever..so me to that place, to another village and everybody was out of quito so i was happy with this event. so i thought ok, first dinner or something and then going to dance... aha.. well i was almost correct.. i only had forgotten the mess (mis) because between christmas and new year its traditional to go with a nino, little doll in bed, like jezus, to nthe church and let it blessed.. almost evry family has one and certainly in these little villages. So my date started with a mess.. and then i went eating dancing with him and his friends.
