I am still safe.

Truthfully, if I turned the television off, I wouldn´t even know anything was amiss here in Samborondon. The streets are quiet. Quieter that normal. Too quiet. Maybe I would know something was different.

I´ve spent the evening bouncing back and forth between the computer, looking for news online and keeping family updated, and my host parents´ room, watching live Ecuadorian news with my family.

One thing´s for sure, sitting on my host parents´ bed eating sweet bread with my siblings, watching the national police open fire on their president is not something I´ll forget any time soon.
