Two weeks ago our town celebrated the festivals of San Pedro their patron saint. That means for four days and four nights Sayausi was fiesta central with vendors, fireworks, masses, parades, fireworks, masses, donkey races, people races, masses, parades, music, costumes, fireworks, dancing, and masses.
We felt it would take too long to explain everything that happened so for this installment of Mary and Mike´s adventures in Ecuador we´re going to let the pictures do the talking..with a few captions for clarification.
The fiestas took place over four days so below you will find four slideshows, one for each day. Double-click on each slideshow to enlarge the image and read all the captions.
Enjoy!!
Day 1: Thursday
Day 2: Friday
Day 3: Saturday
Day 4: Sunday
Our next post will be all soccer and Fourth of July. I joined a team and we had people over for a very patriotic celebration. For a sneak peak at the festivities check out Kelly´s blog (there´s a link on the right side of this page).

Hi Michael and Mary
What great pictures! Impresed with all the children in their school uniforms and the JEP women right in style with the spike heel shoes.
The traditional dances must have been great to see, incrediable costumes. Are their zeppoli as good as ours?
See Long Island made the mail route.
You both look great and keep enjoying.
take care of each other

Muchas gracias por the fotos!
Glad you kept your distance from the castillos.
I hope your birthday is just as much celebration and excitement, Miguel. There's an envelope on its way there from Sausalito CA.
You both look great.
I guess life is agreeing with you.
