libertad es ser respetoso a cada otro


s



today is voting day, where everyone mandatorially votes on the constitution. from what i've heard, everyone seems to know it will pass. my dad voted null (marking both yes and no) and my mom voted no.


Adventure Crew 2008: Papallacta Edition (insert adventure crew music)

llapingachos! Hot Springs! Donkey! Jurassic Park (without dinosaurs)! Sugar Cane! Ley Seca!

There was much to be found in the town of Papallacta with a population of 600 people, more or less. The main attraction are the hot springs, which come from LAVA somewhere and bubble up from the underground into perfectly temperate pools.

llapingachos (which always make me think of yelping cats) are an ecuadorian piece of art. that is, mashed potatos with cheese, fried into a nice, orange mound. Fried eggs on top. sausage/chicharones.

There were probably more cows, donkeys and chickens combined than humans. this place was seriously empty. kind of like the beginning of a scary movie where all the oblivious kids get eaten by zombies.

Then we went on this mini hike on a mini nature reserve where i was expecting to see a dinosaur come around the corner any second. It was like the setting of jurassic park, the show lost and kind of like jumanji all wrapped into one.

Will you guys let me know if this ecuador constitution thing is being covered in the news or not? i would be very interested to know if the u.s. news outlets care about this.

I have heard almost no comment on the new constitution. But I have seen mention of it. One comment I heard, if I remember correctly, was that the extention of animal rights could be extreme.
