Yesterday (Tuesday), we were privileged to celebrate Daniella's mother's birthday in traditional Ecuadorian style. At lunch, her grandmother made the meal and uncles and aunts were present. A special music group (mariachi) surprised her with special music. The group consisted of trumpets, guitars, violins and vocalists. The music was accompanied by dancing and shouts of "Viva a Cumpleanero" - Life to the birthday person. What a fun celebration. In the evening, we went to a second birthday party at a farm attended by friends that graduated with her from high school.
In the afternoon, we visited a village and a museum that had a real mummy dated from the 1500's. We also visited a zoo and ate very sweet bread found only in this village. This village (Guano) is also known for making rugs made out of wool. They gave a large 30 by 80 meter rug to President Reagan many years ago.
Today, it is Daniella's sister's birthday, so we get to celebrate again!
