Ecuadorians are getting ready to say good-bye to 2014. The tradition known as Ano Viejo involves buying a large papier-mache doll, filling it with firecrackers and notes of bad things from the past year, and lighting them afire on New Year's Eve. These very ornate, colorful, and highly amusing figures are an impressive art form.
