In Ecuador the celebration today is to usher out the old year. There are very large speakers all over Mindo, music had been blaring all day in the streets and people are happy. Wishing you a Happy New Year full of interesting new experiences!
Man on the street, not too much traffic so everyone walks in the street.
I love this photograph.
Masks are for sale for the celebration. At midnight effigies and masks are burned in a bonfire at the park, a popular figure to burn for many years has been our President Bush.
More masks for sale by a young person.

Our hotel room for just one night, tonight. The Dragonfly Inn next to a river that I hope will drown out some of the partying tonight.
Dragonfly Inn.
Same place, one of the corridors.
Very cool masks. Maybe you will bring one home? The town looks really nice. Isn't the Dragonfly the name of the inn in Gilmore Girls? The cool tiles, the shutters and the open air of everything makes it feel warm but not too hot. You have a way of capturing the people with your shots.
