I met a random person in a post office today who told me through my broken Spanish that there was a huge fiesta taking place in a town 15 minutes away. Never interested in missing a party, I headed for the town and found this.... It was an entirely indigenous Ecuadorian community and it took me hours to find out what I was watching because I was the only gringo in town and no one else spoke enough English to be able to really explain to me what was going on. Eventually I found an Italian girl, of all countries, who spoke English and told me that I was at the fiesta of Inti Raymi (Party of the Sun) to celebrate the solstice. The party went on like this for the entire day and into the night... Nearly everyone participating was drunk and many people were passed out on the street by 2:30pm. It is quite a festival: A simple stomp as you walk and whistle in step march-dance while wearing fuzzy chaps and a wooden hat dance whilst carrying a whip... I love the craziness of life...
