There is a holiday here in Ecuador that has been going on since the middle of January and lasts til the end of February called Carnival. Everyone dumps buckets of water on everyone and chucks water balloons out car windows. IT IS INTENSE! The other night I got a bucket of water dumped on me from off the top of a building. Another time I went running and a girl next to me got hit with a water balloon out a car window that was going about 40 and she had a welt for a week! As a group of 15 white girls, we make quite the target here in Ecuador.
