3  III  1+1+1

On the actual night of my birthday, the entire family came to celebrate. Mostly it was the old people talking about old people stuff. Some of my friends came so it wasnt a total failure. So we also had canadians come in from well canada: Francisco (my host cousin) and his friend Darcie. We ran around a few places in the city and went to hot springs in Papallacta--my second time to go there but last time I didnt have a camera. Scenery didnt get any less green after a couple months. In Ecuador spf 60 is definately not overkill, the sun burns through a few layers lengthening the time between getting burned, and feeling burned. The whiteness shows in the pictures but on the trip back I learned I was the most crispy I have been in years... that was wearing spf30. A friend has a pic of my radiating red body the day after, maybe Ill steal it to scan.

So my family couldnt find a 1 to put with the 7 on my cake. 17, 37... whatever

Family!

The Canadians! This alley is the absolute oldest part of the city.

The beauty of photography without flash
