Que viva Quito!
Quito’s foundation festival is on at the minute- things are going wild here, people dancing in the streets, loads of chivas (trucks with people and a band on the roof and on benches inside the open truck… good fun! :)) and festival music and bullfights! Watching a bullfight though only reforced our opinion that bullfights are disgusting and cruel. Once in a lifetime, and never again!
All in all, good fun here!
On the twelve of December we’ll be heading down to South Ecuador, hopefully without getting robbed on the way!
At Christmas time Quito’s supposed to be really boring and dead, so we wanna spend Christmas in a little village called Vilcabamba and get pampered there, there are jacuzzies and massages and loads of that sort…

just one thing, pampering and jacuzzis?
what is the world coming to, ye pair of goats?
next it’ll be ciaran’s special brand of moisteuriser,ear warmer designs, crotchless trousers and one of those black leather chestless jackets that the poser wears in school of rock.
matbe ive taken it too far but what about joining an underground wrestling league, walking into the rainforests and never being seen for 4 years while getting kidnapped by some mad tribe who make you wear bark underpants and string vests or robbing some locals yourselves, good idea to give back a little eh, get a knife and tally ho.

i hope to see some photos of the two of you on board one of those floats sporting sparkly bikinis.

Since I’ve seen Ciaran in a sparkly bikini already, I have no desire to do so again. Oh, those crazy nights in Tihuana…

All this from a man who now wears a jacket akin to Fonzie’s when he was teaching car repair in Happy Days; a nice cordoroy number with leather elbow patches. Pay attention class! Today, we will be learning about Sledgehammer maintenance!

yeah the party was cool but this being the corruption capital of south america we were stoppped by the police on our chiva and told we didn’t have the right permits for a band with revellers on top of a chiva (must remember that next time its form H78y *not* H78u cos thats a dog licience) no, the police were lookin some money and our driver wouldnt pay. Anyway the fiesta’s are really cool but alas we forgot the old sparkling bikinis.
