2 days, crazy..
carnaval with foam, flour, eggs and water.. a lot of water..
every child that can walk, every man that still can walk is running with a watergun, waterballoons, foam are a bunch of flour in his hand.
its a fest for the whole city, first you have a defile and then the fun starts.. everybod is weapened with something and you start playing.. doesnt matter if you know the people or not..
tanja and i wore thrown in the fontaine at the main square and then with flour, other water even beer and wine... it was crazy..
part2:banos
carnaval with more eggs, more flour lesws foam and more water
locacion, the local swiming pool, and outside pool with 2 waterparts, one normal temeperature one hot.. in less then half an hour, the pools wore brown, redpurple of all the s tuff people had brought and smashed on other people.. it was a colourfull mess
here no fotos, good because after a colourfull with eggs and flour i dont know what you got thrown into the water.. cloths backpack.. didnt matter.. so a good thing that we didnt take cameras..

febrero.. ai ai ai

so what have i done:
0. eat with franklin
1.play pool with luis*
* well in ecuador there are to tipes, bilar y billart, dont know how to write exactly. One of them if the normal one, the other one is with less balls and just kick the balls in the wholes by number...bueno!!!
2.bought carrots and patatoes in the south of quito, cheaper!
3. go and eat empandas con pollo (kip) en morrocho in south**
**David invited me to go eat, but actually the ecuadorian cuisine is not genial and it can go wrong with the stomache very easily so this food is kind of safe. Empanadas are like fried - deeg-stuffed with things, in my case, chicken onion and carrots, morrocho is sweet hot white drink, but i have no idea whats in it
4. watching travestities in av. amazonas but we wore to early so we only saw 5
5. dancing salsa with tanja and the wierdos...***
***this need some explanacion. we met a bunch of friends- the wierdos- in the salsa bar and at first they wore really nice.. but when you get to know them, they get wierd. Marcus Antonio has fake blue eyes and invites you but doenst talk to you. Segundo lives in his own world and is disturbed when you get him out of it.. so not a big talker...and then the drummer, who has a kid somewhere running around.. well and all of them has the coolnessdesease, being cool is the most important issue.. wierdoos
6. drinking mocachino at 3 am
7. stomach problems
8. waking up at 11am
9. open the door for glenn and luisa














10. go on a trip with them
11. eat cui (cavia) in an artistic place near mitad del mundo
**cui is a tipicial dish in ecuador and its actually really good and healthy
12. visit puhulua a village in the crater of a vulcano
13. being really tough and go down to the village
14. the village is with pure air, smell of 100 flowers and animals everywhere
*nature is growing there like amazing, its wonderfull its natural its quit its like the secret village..trees of taxus wore growing, maiz and some tipe of beans.. just around..
15. climbing up in the clouds
****at around 4pm the clouds are starting to fall down so also into the crater, if youre getting up again you walking into the clouds and you dont see the top or the bottom aymore
16. eat an icecream
