The phrase "blood, toil, tears and sweat" was first uttered on 2. July 1849 by Giuseppe Garibaldi when rallying his revolutionary forces in Rome. However, the phrase became well known after a speech given by Winston Churchill to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the UK on 13. May 1940. "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat". From Sep 2010 to Apr/May 2011 I will try to bike from San Francisco to Santiago. I know this bicycle journey will offer me toil, sweat and joy.

Christmas in Quito
In Ecuador they start to celebrate christmas around 23:00. Normally the whole family come together and eat turkey. After the dinner, they just give the gifts to the people they have gifts to, not for everyone and normally you just get totally 2-3 gifts. After a while you eat cake and after that you just hang around and spend a good time with your family. Around 04:00-05:00 you go home. And for someone who like to drink alcohol, the "party" just has started. Of course it was one uncle who got very drunk.
