10 de Agosto

Today los Ecuatorianos celebrate what we would consider independence day. In 1809 Ecuador was the first of several South American countries to declare independence from the Spanish crown. Because the 10th of August falls on a Thursday, tommorow is the official holiday. Therefore I have the day off tommorow as well as every other Ecuadorian. I am looking forward to having a 3 three day weekend since we have been so busy lately. It will be nice to catch up on some things around the house and loaf around with Becca and Brooklyn.
