Fiesta time

It's that time of year again: town fiesta! The fiesta posters are up (see above), the musical entertainers have been announced, the agricultural fair has been planned, and the liquor stores have been overstocked with beer: Cajabamba is ready. I am also ready... for a trip to Ecuador! While I'm a little sad to be missing the majority of the fiesta, my sorrow is more than compensated for by my excitement to explore a new country. Fun fact: Ecuador uses the American dollar as it's currency. So I'll be re-acquainting myself with dollars and cents - and probably calling them soles by mistake - in preparation for my next international excursion: America in December!
