It continued to rain torentially last night. This morning Antonio rented a third tent. In typical Murphy's Law fashion, as soon as the third tent went up, the sky started to brighten, and the rain stopped. Hey, whatever it takes! Though the forecast claims 100% rain until 5 p.m. and diminishing until 11 p.m., we are hopeful for a dry baptism and party. The ceremony is at 5 p.m. at Iglesia de la Matriz in Cotacachi. We will then all take a bus home, and there will be much food, alcohol, music, and dancing. Devoted family friends such as Rosita and Alexandra were here late into the night and again early this morning (6 a.m. on), helping to peel potatoes, cut vegetables, de-feather chickens, etc. - P1221328
