Chugchilán is a typical village in the Ecuadorian Andes, a lot goes on, but nothing happens. All the men wear gumboots and all the women wear colourful shawls. There are plenty of cute, grubby faced kids and almost as many animals in town, as people. There is a town square, lined by a church, and a volleyball court. Sunday is market day. The rest of the week the atmospheric comings and goings of clouds comprise the majority of local traffic.

10 abril, Sábado


Chugchilan has three bars that I know of. I say that I know of because only one of the three has a sign announcing its presence, Bar Cervecero. The other two are just rooms with a table in the middle and crates of beer staked against the wall.

At Bar Cervecero I met Kerly and Joan. They were minding the bar and If I was buying, selling the beer, Joan was 11 and his sister 3. Joan was really helpful and knew the price of everything, Beer $1, Cola 25c and Bread 10c. Kerly was more interested in playing with her ball.
