Phrase of the day: Feliz Noche de brujas!... Happy Halloween!
Yeah, that wasn't exactly a direct translation, but it makes the most sense! Noche de brujas is techincally Night of witches. But then again, I hope none of you are actually trying to learn Spanish by reading my blog; for the most part, I just make up words.
We celebrated Halloween (Saturday night instead of on Sunday) with all of the other volunteers and Americans at Inca Lounge, a pub by the river. The mafia group was very well organized.
But my favorite was definitely the ninjas with their plastic swords, hula-hoop weaponry(?), and ridiculous ninjitsu skills!
Sunday morning, after another healthy breakfast at the amazing cafe next door, we walked around the town one last time.
We saw the main church in town, which Cuenca is kind of known for.
On the way, Ronald decided to fight a robot. I'm sure that didn't help minimize the Ecuadorians' feelings that we foreigners are pretty strange.
Some of us in one of the many parks.
Halloween was unfortunately my last day in Cuenca, but I will be returning pretty soon, I'm sure! Where else can you find Bata in Ecuador!?!
And your flower of the day taken outside a museum we visited, which used to be a "mental-health facility" many many years ago.
those flowers look like they're just red leaves.
