You are looking for a small pill bottle. It is located along the road so you have to watch for muggles. Location: Carapungo
The Old Man gets burned tonight at midnight, 31 December, as we ring in the New Year. Here in Ecuador you make or purchase a life-sized doll for the moment. You sew some pants and a shirt together and stuff it with old cloth or paper and sometimes with some firecrackers. At midnight you take him into the street and you burn him. Almost every family in the country does this as a traditional way of bidding farewell to the Old Man (the outgoing year) and welcoming the New Year. This is how I'm welcoming 2011!
