Monigote Tradition Explained Cuenca Ecuador

Monigote Tradition Explained (Cuenca Ecuador 2019)

December 30, 2019/0 Comments/in Cuenca Ecuador, Day In The Life Videos, Holidays /by JP

Amelia and JP VLOG 177: It’s New Year’s Eve Eve and we learned all about the tradition of burning monigotes or años viejos as part of the New Year celebration. Christina and Andrea, our Spanish teachers from Walking Spanish Lessons, explained the various elements of the tradition as part of our class. Then we burned our monigote or effigy to cast off the old, negative energy and welcome in the new, positive energy. It was a lot of fun!

Following a life-changing event back in Denver Colorado, we took stock of our lives and decided we needed to do something different.

After a lot of soul searching and some VERY tough decisions, we made the choice to sell everything we owned and leave the US in search of a more unconventional life, in a more affordable and tranquilo part of the world.

No sunset tonight but still incredibly beautiful. No sunset tonight but still incredibly beautiful. Seemed like a black and white moment. This is the last official weekend for the lockdown. The infection rate is down 34% and the daily death rate has also decreased so we’re hopeful the 3rd wave is coming to an end. Moreno said he won’t renew the state of exception and will leave that up to Lasso after his inauguration on May 24th. That means no lockdown next weekend. Hope you have an unconventional Friday! #manta #ecuador #ocean #blackandwhite #sunset #mantaecuador #ecuador🇪🇨 #ecuadorexpats #ecuadorplanet #ecuadorimages593 #ecuadormagico

NEW VIDEO! DAISY GOES TO THE VET & WE GO FOR A WAL NEW VIDEO! DAISY GOES TO THE VET & WE GO FOR A WALK in Manta Ecuador (May 2021) Daisy hasn't been feeling well for a few weeks. The vet clinic in Olón said she needed an ultrasound, but they didn't have that equipment so we took her to the @mantapets Veterinary Clinic after we moved here. I adopted Daisy 10 years ago and she was at least 3 years old then so she's getting pretty old and we're worried she might not be with us much longer. We just lost Alicia to old age a couple months ago and we can't handle the thought of losing Daisy, too. Hopefully the vet here in Manta can get her back to normal! The coffee shop we went to was @pipcoffee.ec. It's a national chain with a new location that isn't listed on their website or Facebook page yet. It's one block east of Martinica on restaurant row. ¡Fue riquisimo! #manta #ecuador #expats #mantaecuador #discoverecuador

There are lots of cats around here, but we haven’t seen any stray dogs in this area. And unlike Olón, the dogs are almost always on leashes or well trained. We’re thinking about taking our bikes out for a spin tomorrow so we can venture out a bit further 👍 #manta #ecuador #cat #gato #welcometoecuador #discoverecuador #ecuadorisallyouneed #ameliaandjp

The sunsets never get old! We had a quiet Sunday. The sunsets never get old! We had a quiet Sunday. I wrote 2 chapters of my book and Amelia cooked us a bunch of food for the week.
