"Civil Unrest" days

So, in the US, we have snow days. Here in Quito, we get “civil unrest” days! For example, Wednesday was a half day just for professional development purposes…we had trainings to attend, etc. Fine, normal.



Yesterday, I get an email at the end of the day saying that today, Friday we will also have a half day. But this time because the director wants everyone home (students and staff) before 2PM when marches and protests are planned. Apparently, a year ago there was an attempted coups against President Correa. Could it happen again a year later? Anything’s possible here! I, for one, am not complaining about starting my weekend just a few hours earlier J
