Not a Bad Day

On September 30, 2010, the police of Ecuador staged a nation-wide protest. In Quito and Guayaquil, streets were clogged with traffic, students were stranded at school, stores were ransacked and stripped clean. And in the closing hours of that Thursday the military evacuated the president from the police hospital in Quito amidst a dramatic gunfight. Meanwhile, in a little town not an hour away from the dramatic events which unfolded in Quito, this is how a certain volunteer spent (part of) her day.

All in all, not a bad day.

  1. So glad the protests didn't make their way to your little mountain ciudad. By the looks of it, Nono was having a beautiful day. We had to chuckle--Steven and Samina both seem to obey about the same! Have you ever considered a career in writing? M & D
