Friday night we all went to our first Ecua futbol game! It was insane. The fans put the TarPit to shame. Deportivo Quito played Barcelona (not from Spain...from the coast). A friend of ours is a big Barcelona fan, so we cheered for them. The fans never stopped chanting, there were fireworks being launched from the crowd, flares going off, balloons being waved, a couple fights being started, and the loudest whistles you've ever hear to cheer the team on. Unfortunately, Barcelona lost 2-0, but in all fairness, they did just travel 2 mi above sea level, and it takes longer than a day to get acclimated to that altitude. But all in all, it was a blast...and we learned some really vulgar vocab. Ya never know when you're going to need that!
Then Anneke and I headed back to Mindo for Saturday and Sunday. We just loved it so much the first time (3 months ago....it doesn't seem that long ago!) that we decided to regresar to do everything we missed the first time. So, we saw even more waterfalls, went to visit a butterfly farm, and ate a LOT more chocolate from the chocolateria. Richest brownies I've ever tasted. Also, finished the second book of the Hunger Games in less than a day--sooo good. It was such a great, chill weekend...so nice to get away from the city and just relax. Lovelovelove.
