Last day in Ecuador!!!


We convinced our favorite Juanny to take us on one last tour of downtown Quito so we could get pictures of all the churches. Luckily, his wife came along who didn’t like history either, so we didn’t get as many lessons.  While on our tour, a couple of crazy events took place! Kassara’s leg was grabbed by a homeless man, a lady in the street sent us to hell, and we danced with some drunks.

While we were in the Centro, we heard this lady screaming and shouting and her voice was so raspy from yelling so much, as you can tell! We thought this was quite hilarious, so naturally, we pulled out the camera and started recording. We felt bad for filming her sermon, so when she stopped to take a breath Kassara started clapping. Afterwards, Juan told us that she was sending us to hell because we weren’t clean. Enjoy the footage J
 We visited lots of awesome churches! 



 Kassara's awesome burn line!  
 The Basilica! This was our favorite church! 






 This was the weirdest cemetery. There were little cubbies in the wall for the bodies. Kassara snuck in here very quickly and we snapped the picture!

 Our first fun dancing experience! 



There was a band playing in the Centro and everyone was gathered around listening. There were a few crazy people in the middle dancing. We thought the lady in green was hilarious so we started to film her!
 
 While we were making the film we had a strong urge to go in the middle of the crowd and dance like crazy people, so we did! The mood of the crowd completely changed. The people were ecstatic to see the gringos dancing like idiots. There was a creepy man (the one next to the lady in the green in the other video) who gave Kassara a creepy hug and was just overall creepy. Have I said creepy enough yet? When we tried to leave the circle, the people round about wouldn’t let us leave and literally pushed us back into the circle. It was fun to feel like a star for 5 minutes but didn’t like the feeling of being controlled. Eventually Juan came and pulled us out and we were on our merry jolly way. Later we found out that only the drunk people go in the middle and dance!  Juan wasn’t the best filmer, so this is the best we have! At least the picture of the people around the circle was set from our previous video! Notice the creepy hug at the end…

 This is Juan's wife, Mary! We loved her.
 Kassara's BFF.
 The cutest piggies ever!!!


We went to a movie and bowling and to a nice crepe restaurant with the cousins! We love them and miss them! They were the best entertainment while we were in Ecuador! Of course, since they were with us, we made them try on funny clothes with us! After the girls had our fun laughing at each others outfits we went upstairs to find Nico in his dressing room and he was nowhere to be found! We thought he chickened out! The fact is that some workers in the store told him that if he was going to make fun of their clothes that he needed to leave before they called the CEO of the company. Harsh. Who says he didn’t love the outfit he was trying on? If you think people are trying on your clothes to make fun of them maybe it’s time to get a new clothing line… 





 Hermana Thomas! We met her at church and she invited us to go to lunch with her. We had been painting the whole morning before. That is why we look so haggard. 

On our very last night in Ecuador the Zambranos took us to a very nice Mexican restaurant! It was fun to be with everyone one last time. Before we left, Kassara wanted a picture with everyone and Maru had a the great idea of getting the picture under the Amigos sign! Unfortunately, Washington didn’t get the memo and covered up half of the sign. We love them all and we are sure going to miss them!




 Picture this face saying, "think so!!!"
