Today is a national holiday in Ecuador, so there are no classes at the Center. Instead, there is fiesta or celebration put on by the community leaders at CMT. It was a chance for the guys to catch up on some sleep (9 am!) and to spend a more relaxing day - our last with the families at the Center. Basketball, volleyball, soccer, tops and bingo were the main activities of the day. Prior to lunch the gringos overcame the Ecuadorans in a surprising 9 - 8 victory. The McQ guys (with a few additions) had been up 9 - 5, but a very long second half allowed the locals to catch up.
Tonight, Madre Miguel is showing a slide show to all the groups in the house about the early days of the Center. We have to figure out how we will spend Tuesday, our free day in the city or local area. We are saving our visit to the equator until Wednesday morning, our last day in Ecuador.
