For those guys who wanted a closer look at all the beautiful Ecuadorian gals in the parade shown in the last blog, we have a solution. Most computers have a photo magnifier built in. JUST CLICK ONCE ON THE DESIRED PICTURE AND YOU WISH COMES TRUE.
We thought we would include a few "around the town" shots. So here goes.
We have not tried the "whole hog" roast as of yet. Might be more tempted to give it a try if we could get the frown off the pigs face first!
Hanging meat is also something we have not tried. Quick purchase might be one thing, but a slow day at the meat market in a tropical climate kicks my imagination in to high gear in the world of micro-biology.
Clothing stores do not necessarily have the full line of goods. This shop provides clothing for a limited number of things that may need a cover. Baby's heads (of course) are often covered with a full winter cap. The temp never drops below 65 here and at about 80, parents uncover the baby's heads.
NOT McDonalds
Since few people own cars, taxis are everywhere. It is a $1 charge anywhere in town.
Cooking large quantities of rice can require special equipment. This "cooking pot" store has the big pots. Cook a sack of rice at a time if you want.
This is the new Puyo "Wal-Mart". Tia has a variety of items and is about as big as they come here in town. They even do a little "loss-leader" flier advertizing.
MJ gets a hair cut. Nice job and all for $1.
The resturant pictures given idea of "Sunday dinner out". This is a new, nicely decorated resturant about half a block from the church. The four course meal is $3 each.
The soup is a chicken broth with a cornmeal ball around hamberger, peas, cabbage, carrots, etc.
The main course was chicken, rice, corn with cheese sauce and veggies
The desert was fruit in a jello mixture with part of a grape on top.
And then there are the street vendors who always make the rounds. These two had a huge supply of balloons to sell today. Must be called "balloons on a stick".

This was my favorite blog entry yet! I loved all the pictures! The parades were so neat and colorful. Everyone looks so happy. I know Trent will especially appreciate the food pictures. Describing food is one thing but a picture is worth a thousand words. Hope mom likes her hair cut. Make sure we get to see dad's hair cut pic when he goes in for it. Thanks again for the wonderful pics and keep up the great work!
Love you!
