Tuesday August 13, 2013 
Today involved a little roaming around downtown, a little shopping, and some demonstrating against SEPS who are holding all our money….

Entrance to City Hall

Looking NW over City Hall entrance

Protesters wearing white are gathering

We had a local radio station covering our protest

The protesters streaming into the lobby

Peter, the long-haired fellow, has parents in Two Hills, Alberta

Denise Lane did a candid interview on the group's behalf

Lots of signs in evidence

Lots of chanting for an hour

My sign

Children lend authenticity to the dire needs of some families

It is all very civilised

We chanted while our Brass was submitting a letter to the Mayor

Of course the mayor wasn't there

So our letter was acknowledged and received by a Commission

Mr President, give us our money

President Correa with one of his candidates, the founder of Coopera

Our lawyer giving us the news

We had a pretty decent little crowd there

Then we marched a couple of blocks along Parque Calderon 

Then we turned in front of the Cathedral

The police calmly escorted us

The protest ended fittingly at the Justice Building
