Don't be scared, the colorful person in the first shot is the same and the guy sitting next to me in the lower image. Patrick put on the Aya Huma mask for a little photo shoot during our trip to Otavalo. The Aya Huma masks has two faces, one angry and one happy (although its hard to say which is which) It is a popular item at the Otavalo markets, and people use the mask in their traditional dances and ceremonies. The small bowl Patrick has his hand in at the table is a typical starting course called "tostadas" or basically toasted corn kernals. They are especially yummy when doused with salt and a bit of ahí, the traditional hot sauce.
I regret not bringing my camera with me today, as I wanted to take some shots around my home in Lumbisí, but I promise I will make it more of a habit starting next week. However, this weekend a trip to the beach is planned, and I have to say I am very excited. I imagine there will be quite a lot of take pictures of, so expect a picture-heavy post on Monday with some good beach stories.
