No Place Like Home

The second to last show was held in front of the presidents house in the Plaza de Grande. Hundred of people were around due to the Quito Holiday. People old and young gathered to watch the "gringo reggae" show and while no one danced they did listen. This young man (below) wandered around and shined shoes as the show went on. Look how young he is and how black his hands are!! I just can't image, it's very sad to watch.











The crowd at Seseribo was a bit confused when a reggae band showed up to ruin their salsa night. They ended up being pleasantly surprised however and the dancers were in full force.


Last night we were packed and ready to go. We got to the airport two hours early and waited in numerous lines only to be told that our flight was canceled due to volcanic ash. The security alert seemed very high and after the flight was canceled around 1:30am we didn't get our bags back until 5am only to find they had been gone through. My guess is that is was not volcanic ash since the ash is blowing south and we are a hundred miles north but who knows. So far tonight our flight is an hour and a half delayed and we have missed our connecting flight, just hoping that the flight actually leaves tonight, our fingers are crossed. As much as I enjoyed our stay here I am beyond ready to go home, release us Ecuador pretty please :)

Thanks for following the blog and I look forward to the next adventure!!
