So this is what a coup looks like...

e, Check out these links about the situation in Quito:



This one from Rueters: here 

And this one

We'll keep you posted as we find out more but basically. Correa, the President is going ahead with massive cut backs which effect the military and the police. The police went on strike this morning. The military originally backed the government but has since changed it's mind and is striking with the police. It's unclear whether all of the military is with the police or only certain parts. In general, there's chaos in the streets and no one is entering or leaving Quito. We're safe and at home. All of our classes have been cancelled. 

MULUB,
