During this week after Christmas, Guayaquilenos head downtown to the Avenida 6 de Marzo to buy their "manigotes" . . . . paper mache dolls of all shapes, designs, and sizes. Take them home, and stuff them with fireworks and messages about all the bad things you want to forget about the "ano viejo" the old year. At the stroke of midnight on December 31st, folks around here set fire to these dolls---stuffed with fireworks, these guys make a huge racket! Then the new year can begin without any of the bad things from 2015. The marketplace for manigotes was our destination last Sunday -- wow! what a selection! Here are just a few.
