National Teacher Weekend

This is Thursday and the end of the work week. We seem to often have four day work weeks. Tomorrow is national teacher day and the schools are closed. We will be going with our teacher group to some kind of outdoor activity near Tena. We will be taking our school bus which is more of a coach bus.
Tonight, the parent social committee is hosting a dinner at a restaurant for all teachers. The school basically shut down after 10:30 today as kids hosted parties in the individual classroom. (make that a three and a half day week)
Saturday and Sunday we still hope to make the trip to Riobamba(three hours by bus) and take the tourist train up and down the Devils Nose. The train goes back and forth on what is essentially switch backs by going forward and backward. In so doing, it climbs a steep mountain wall. This was once the railroad that connected Quito to the pacific coast cities.
It has been some time since we posted pictures. Readers who only look at pictures will be back in luck in a few days.
