Phrase of the day: Solo una vez cada ano, los fiestas y desfiles de San Isidro... Only one time each year, the parties and parades of San Isidro.
Parade time! If you happen to remember from my time in Cayambe, parades are huge here. Every school, every organization, every little group participates. It's nice. (It's nice that they care to do it).
The new Reina with the president of the local government and the mayor of the regional government.
Kasie and the local youth group.
And as usual, everyone in the entire county comes in to town to particpate/watch!
The high school was by far the best. They had all sorts of things. Javi and the high school professors.
The high school dance team. I have a video, but it's too big to post.
And the high school band was great. For a week straight I heard them practicing the same song over and over and over again. It paid off though. They nailed it. And as usual, the drummers were the cool kids in school.
After the parade we took a spin on the caterpillar train! (Really, Kasie just wanted to, so we went along).
It was fun though because we're in Ecuador. And in Ecuador, there are no rules. 
My place is looking more cheery. I put up some card and letter people have given me. And I put up a t-shirt that the kids gave me when I went and spoke at their school.
Happy Birthday Slick!
