Day two has been wonderful even if the country is now being paralysed by protests. In the morning we went to see, Juan, Luis's best friend, and his new wife, Joni, before they flew back to Miami. She is lovely and it was great to see Juan. And what a small world, she told me her best friend from College saw a comment I made on her wedding announcement and said 'how in the world do you know my favourite teacher?'! I knew exactly who she meant before she said another word, Melissa June from Basel, also one of my favourites. I was slightly horrified that she was asking me about my former student but there we go!
We then went to lunch at Andrew and Belen's, two of the original Ecuador family who also came to our wedding. They have two little girls, Mia who is 5, and Lily who is 3. Sebastian had the best time, in fact we all did. It was so lovely to catch up with them.
We then got the phone call to start making our way home. The protestors had entered Quito, things were closing and everyone preparing for what could turn out to be the overthrowing of the current government. Fun times.
