A few weeks ago, I commented several times that I had to travel to Ecuador a couple of years ago, because what I want to share with you today are some of those adventures I lived through this beautiful country. I spent approximately 6 months in Quito specifically, and although my life there basically consisted of work, I had some opportunities to distract myself with my co-workers.
Hace unas semanas atrás, comente en varias ocasiones que tuve que viajar a Ecuador un par de años atrás, por que lo que hoy quiero compartir con ustedes algunas de esas aventuras que viví por este hermoso país. Estuve aproximadamente un poco mas de 6 meses en Quito específicamente, y aunque mi vida allí básicamente consistía en trabajar, tuve algunas oportunidades para distraerme con mis compañeros de trabajo.
The memory I want to share is nothing less than the night of Halloween, that day our boss was going to a costume party with his friends, so we left a little earlier than our usual schedule. My partner Carlos had already invited me to his house, to go to a Colombian Disco with the owners of a bakery called Esquina Caleña, the bakery was next door to the ice cream shop where I worked.
So, the owner of the establishment invited us to go with them, with all the team that worked in Esquina Caleña
El recuerdo que quiero compartir, se trata de nada mas y nada menos, que la noche de halloween, ese día nuestro jefe iba a ir a una fiesta de disfraces con sus amigos, por lo cual salimos un poco mas temprano de nuestro horario habitual. Ya mi compañero Carlos me había invitado a su casa, para ir a una Discoteca Colombiana con los dueños de una panadería llamada Esquina Caleña, la panadería era vecina de la heladería donde yo trabaje.
Por lo cual, la dueña del establecimiento nos invito a ir con ellos, con todo el equipo que trabajaba en esquina caleña.

When we left work, we went to Carlos's house, there we got ready and his mother helped us with our make-up, we also took the opportunity to play a little with my partner's brothers.
Al salir del trabajo, nos fuimos a la casa de Carlos, allí nos arreglamos y su madre nos ayudo con el maquillaje, también aprovechamos para jugar un poco con los hermanos de mi compañero.
When we finished our terrifying makeup, had dinner and finished dressing, we went by taxi to the disco, called Los gemelos, it was a very big disco where many Venezuelans and Ecuadorians also frequented, so in this place people of 3 different nationalities gathered to enjoy.
Al terminar nuestro maquillaje terrorífico, cenar y terminar de vestirnos, nos fuimos en taxi a la discoteca, llamada Los gemelos, era una discoteca muy grande a la cual también frecuentaban muchos Venezolanos y Ecuatorianos, así que en este lugar se reunían personas de 3 nacionalidades distintas a disfrutar.
When we arrived our friends from the corner of Cali were waiting for us, there they received us with a little "guaro" as they call it, which is basically Aguardiente Antioqueño. We sat down at our respective table to wait for the party to begin.
Al llegar nos esperaban nuestros amigos de la esquina caleña, allí nos recibieron con un poco de "guaro" como le dicen ellos, que es básicamente Aguardiente Antioqueño. Nos sentamos en nuestra respectiva mesa a esperar que comenzara al fiesta.
There we met more people of Colombian nationality, almost all those who were in this party were friends of Cali corner because it was a very healthy and fun, all were owners of premises in Ecuador, and I commented that annually made this party to remember his beloved land Colombia.
The dance started, and we all went out on the floor, they played all kinds of music, salsa, merengue, bachata, reggaeton, electronic, vallenato, and many more. I danced as much as I could, with some friends we made there, everything was fun, because since we were in make-up, people invited us to take a picture with them.
Allí conocimos mas personas de nacionalidad Colombiana, casi todos los que estaban en esta fiesta eran amigos de esquina caleña por que era un ambiente muy sano y divertido, todos eran dueños de locales en Ecuador, y me comentaban que anualmente hacían esta fiesta para recordar su tierra amada Colombia.
Comenzó el baile, y todos salimos a la pista, colocaron todo tipo de música, salsa, merengue, bachata, reggaeton, electrónica, vallenato, y muchos tipos mas. Yo baile todo lo que pude, con algunos amigos que hicimos allí, todo fue divertido, por que como estábamos maquillados, las personas nos invitaban a tomarnos una foto con ellos.
From the stage you could see live talent, a Venezuelan interpreting Venezuelan and Colombian salsa songs, it was a show, everyone wanted to take a picture with him when the show ended.
Desde la tarima se observaba talento en vivo, un Venezolano interpretando temas de salsa Venezolana y colombiana, fue un espectáculo, todo el mundo quería tomarse una foto con el cuando termino el show.
A costume contest began, and I didn't want to participate, I preferred to see my friend Carlos, here they did many activities, dances, questions, jokes, everything. The participants did a great job and put on a good show, but at the end of it all "The Nun" won.
Comenzó un concurso de disfraces, y yo no quise participar, preferí ver a mi amigo Carlos, aquí hicieron muchas actividades, bailes, preguntas, chistes, de todo. Los participantes se lucieron e hicieron un buen espectáculo, pero al final de todo gano "La monja".
Once the contest was over, the end of our Halloween night arrived, it was 3 am and until that time the party was allowed, we said goodbye with the Colombian national anthem and then with the Venezuelan one.
Finalizado el concurso llego el fin de nuestra noche de halloween, eran las 3 am y hasta esa hora estaba permitida la fiesta, nos despedimos con el himno nacional de Colombia y luego con el de Venezuela.
I still remember my hangover the next day, but it was my day off and I had to work, it was the best, it was one of the best days I lived in Quito, and I not would like to relive it again.
Aun recuerdo mi resaca al día siguiente, pero era mi día libre y no tenia que trabajar, fue lo máximo, fue uno de los mejores días que viví en Quito, y quisiera revivirlo de nuevo.
With this I say goodbye, thank you very much for your attention, see you in a next post.
Con esto me despido, muchas gracias por tu atención, nos vemos en un siguiente post.
