I hope everyone had a great fourth of July celebration the other night! We chose to celebrate in Ecuador by making chili cheese hot dogs and a lot of guacamole. We invited people over that night and the end result of who was there was: 6 girls from the United States, 1 Peruvian girl, 2 Canadian brothers, and 1 Ecuadorian. It was quite an interesting mix, but we all had a really good time. After dinner, a couple of the girls surprised us with a pinata outside and we got to take a few whacks at it. Inside the pinata were balloons so we blew them up and popped them all at once to make the illusion of fireworks. This was definitely the most unconventional fourth that I have ever celebrated, but it was a lot of fun and it was a good way to celebrate it all together being so far away from home. And, I also get to celebrate the Ecuadorian Independence day in August, so I get to see how they really celebrate independence days! I thought you would all enjoy that and I'll let you know how the orphanage goes this week!
