I actually went down to Parque Calderon to support the hunger strikers of Coopera this morning and was surprised to see that the gazebo was empty.  When I got home I found an article today in El Mercurio saying a hunger strike "truce had been declared..  http://www.elmercurio.com.ec/411244-afectados-de-coopera-dan-tregua-y-suspenden-huelga-de-hambre/#.Ury3HdJDvTo    This is best viewed with Google Chrome so you can get a reasonable translation.
While I was downtown I bought a new leather wallet for $7 and spotted this one fellow in ceremonial dress like a North American Indian.
Then I picked up my lunch stuff at Coral, 37c for a large cabbage (enough for 7 lunches), and $1.19 for 6 large tomatoes....  That is one of the reasons that I will be staying in Ecuador...
Hope you enjoy the photos.  That was the day's excitement,   Cheers, Al  

Look at the size of this cabbage for 37 cents

Yes Virginia, 37 cents for a huge cabbage

North American Indian costume??

Immaculate Conception is always a sight

The gazebo was empty of the Coopera hunger strikers
