Achi Taita dances with Abuelita. As much as we didn't want to go to bed, we were exhausted, and had to surrender to our casita after 2:30 a.m. The music continued until around 4:30 a.m. We were tired enough to sleep through most of it, even though the bass rattled our walls. We still thought we heard people talking at around 6:30. - P1220282
This morning, we woke up at around 9:30, feeling surpisingly refreshed. Rosa had not slept, and she and Carol were outside well into clean-up. A few friends were also helping, and Jung and another young boy were doing ribbon rhythmic gymnastics with the streamers on the remnants of the stage. Soon, the little piglets were on the stage rooting through the streamers looking for food. Carol accompanied Sisa to the tienda to get a look at the village. It has been a beautiful sunny day, and snow-capped Mount Cotacachi was visible. - P1220284

We met the newest additions to the farm family: 3 cuyes (guinea pigs). Rosa's niece Delia gave the mother and two tiny babies as a baptismal gift. They were in a little crate under the sink. I picked up one of the babies. It was so tiny and still seemed to have part of its umbilical cord attached. So cute!
