Cotacachi Day of the Dead

Day of the Dead in Ecuador isn't exactly like Halloween. People go the the cemetery the night before, but not to spook each other... they actually sit up with their deceased loved ones, bringing them the foods and drinks they enjoyed in life. Then it's party time. In Cotacachi, food booths are set up on the main square and the men play tromps, a local game involving a large top, a puck that is smacked up and down the street, and a lot of beer.
