A Party Bus Welcome

Parties in Ecuador are different than ones I've been to in Canada, to say the least. Firstly, dancing. Secondly, there are these buses called "Chivas" that can be rented out for loud parties on wheels that go through all of centro historico with limitless supplies of canelazo. 
I slept for the majority of the day, most likely recuperating from the trip and the altitude changes. After a brief breakfast, I actually slept from 10 AM to 6 PM which is crazy but I'm capable when it comes to sleep. Got ready, met Carol, Luis, and Cristian downstairs. 
We left in the taxi and met friends near Plaza de las Americas, where the Chiva picked us up. I saw Dome! That was awesome. Her friends were there too, like Shirley. I saw friends of Carol's (like Gabriela "la Mona") who I hadn't seen in over a year as well. There were other faces there I knew too.
I got much too excited when I saw Carla and much much too excited when I saw Fran and Danny. We had a rocking time in the Chiva--I even broke out from my shell and danced because YOLO. Dome made it lots of fun too, and everyone--EVERYONE--wouldn't let me go without alcohol.
