Today was catch up day! We spent most of the day at an Interenet cafe catching up on blogs and starting to upload pictures. I called my parents and caught up on emails. I did pretty good considering how far behind I was.
One startling event that happened is while we were in the cafe, a boy ran in screaming and crying. he ran towards the bathroom and gotten stopped. Rushing in after him was a man, who then dragged him out screaming and crying. We had no idea what was going on. It was nice to see the owners of the cafe finding out what was going on. it turns out the boy had probably stolen something and gotten caught because accross the street, where the man had dragged him were a few police officers. It was still a very disturbing scene.
Later that night while chatting with people in the hostal we started hearing stories about people getting mugged, robbed or sprayed with mustard. This was a lot of people to prove as a coincidence. We decided that now when we go out, if we go out that we will not carry anything with us and if we have to, we will be on a strict lookout. i don´t like the feeling of not trusting people. this isn´t me, but I also don´t want my things stolen. Its very sad actually because Quito has some nice buildings and scenary which would be very picture worthy, but no i don´t want to take the risk of getting my camera stolen, so I leave it at the hostal. Its very unfortunate.
