Many exciting things yesterday, but not much time to elaborate.
Morning walk. Watched kids from the age 5-12 participating in a soccer camp. The enthusiasm with which they played the game was impressive. Everytime a goal was scored in a shooting drill the young striker would thow his/her hands in the air and scream ¨goalllllllllll.¨
We visited two museums, one dedicated to the indiginous past of the Ecuadorian people, another about an artist who dedicated his life to celebrating the indiginous culture, making sure that it was not hidden or forgotten by the people.
Took a very slow gondola ride to the top of a mountain. Over 12,000 meters! Very difficult to breath and quite cold, but the view payed off.
Visited the central plaza of Quito, with a full political protest in progress. According to the signs, it had something to do with agriculture, but as to what extent, I´m not too sure. A busy place though, people everywhere... reading the paper, talking, people watching, kids buffing shoes and selling crayons; all in a all, a very interesting scene.
Empanadas for lunch, trout for dinner. Trout, with arroz y queso, una cerveza, and desert came to 6.00 U.S. dollars. :-)
