So there is pretty much a celebration day for every larger City here in Ecuador that includes parades, food, dancing, and music. We were able to travel to Cuenca for the celebration on November 3rd. The journey was quite long... about an 11 hour travel day by bus. It was very worth it though. The City was amazing! Our first night we went to the movies!! It was so exciting because it was our first time to the movies since I've been in Ecuador. It actually felt normal :) We saw "The Time Traveler's Wife", complete with popcorn, sprite, twix, and skittles. What a wonderful night!
A group of 4 other girls from Shell were going at the same time we were so we were able to spend a lot of time with them. We toured the City, with so many beautiful churches, ate good food, followed bands that were marching down the streets, went to modern art musuems, watched a parade of military tanks? (a bit strange to say the least), and had a blast! It's so wonderful to get out and experience the country of Ecuador.
