Quick update - the beach.

I meant to tell you guys about the beach... Over Carnaval (Carnival, like Mardi Gras...) I went to a beach in north Ecuador called Las Peñas with Luis and his whole family. The beach was not the very best, but the trip was a lot of fun. Even Uno got to go!

Part of the Carnaval tradition is to throw water on each other. Ecuadorian kids love to wait by the road for unsuspecting carloads of people... like us when we were sleeping... besides the driver of course... quite peacefully, until some kids were able to aim a bucket of water through the open window right at our faces. They got me, Luis and his sister Cindy. and Uno.

In other exciting news, we went out dancing and I got stung by jellyfish. Apparently getting stung by jellyfish is pretty common here, and although it hurt at the time it wasn´t so dramatic. However, to make it sound dramatic... I got stung three times. Once on the finger, and twice on my legs.

But it really was tons of fun! I swear. Hahah.
We went swimming of course, we went dancing, and we ate some amazing seafood.
