Madrina Madness!!! & Halloween Hallows

Hola mis lectores ( my readers) this is what happened on halloween weekend here in Ecuador! First with the big special day for me and my family, the day i represented my Quimico clase ( chemistry class) as their Madrina. I had to get up early around 6 to get my hair done, ok that may sound like sleeping in to some but the fact that i went out with my sisters the previous night, and got home around 3:30 am, getting back up at six was kind of a pain to do. But it was no problem when i got to the beauty saloon to fall asleep in the  chair while i had my head poodle-a-fied! Once that was over, my mom rushed me back to my house to finish up getting ready, and then we rushed out the door to Catalinas for the show. The funny thing was i was worried that we weren't going to make it there in time, i was told to be there by 8, but i got there around 8:30-40, but the fact of the matter was that the show didn't start for another 2-3 hours later, thats Latin time for you. When finally the show started i walked out with my date ( an exchange student from France, he ended up being a French loser, but oh well) then walked up to our stage, with my whole school, their friends/family, and all of Cuenca, because the whole thing was filmed! No pressure! So once that was over there were lots of venders selling food outside, and trying to move in one general direction was quite a workout in six inch heals. But ala in all the day was one to remember, and will be part of many exchange memories!

As for Halloween this is all i have to say, i had my friend Savannah ( an exchange student from Cali) make my costume ( a hippy), but ended up sleeping at the Halloween party. Here Halloween is really an excuse to have a party, but at least i got an Ecuadorian hot dog out of it. No candy, no trick-or-treat, no Booooo's, just one cold, boring night! Oh well beggars can't be choosers ( thanks mom, now i understand the meaning of the saying)!
