So today was the 10th of August, which is apparently like Ecuador's independence day, or Quito's independence day, one of the two. However, they really don't celebrate like we celebrate the 4th of July in the U.S., but it was still a fun day. All of the schools on the island (and there are a lot, like 15 I think) parade down the street, and then everyone gets the day off. I got to march with my students down the street and everytime I would try and help them march and show them how, they would always laugh at me, so I just gave up. This was pretty much all of the celebration that went on, I was really hoping for a big BBQ or some sort of fiesta but nothing!!!
