Festival de Guapulo; chillin' with the friends at T___'s adorable little cliffhanger apartment over cheese and wine... meeting more international teachers from the ATL! Walking down the zig-zaggy street and the cobblestones, all the way into the town square in front of the old church. 800 people from Quito drinking canelazo (hot spiced alcohol) and dancing while the men in blue suits on the stage play all the brass instruments and dance in funny sync and the wooden-tower-of-firework-contest is showed off and then the wooden-STRANGE-cow-structures-that-shoot-fireworks-at-the-people-in-the-crowd chased us around and around and we got shoved and jumped and covered our hair and got as close to the ground as possible... me knocking canelazo all over poor T___ and L____ hovering over me as fireworks shot at us and A____ spilling canelazo all over me and then she lost her shoe while dancing and the 7 foot tall basketball players from LA and Mississippi who have family in College Park and East Point flirting with the redhead and I loved how feisty T___ was one one got too fresh and the WEIRD very drunk teacher from Americano who wanted to kiss me for pictures and the long long long never-ending kilometer walk back up the zig-zaggy streets to T___'s house as A___ stumbled without her shoe and the policemen laughed and we posed against the cliff... then caught a cab and went home by one. Thank goodness I don't like to get drunk (firework cows would be terrifying and i could be the one without the shoe!). More than enough festival for a long time.
