I was surprised to see information about an attempted Ecuadorian coup making headlines today.
I was only back from Ecuador two months ago. Photos from this journey are still to be shared , stories yet to be told. The memories are still very fresh.
I remember endless discussions with Ecuadorians about the government of Raphael Correa. Despite its populism and leftist tendencies, in the country (and continent) where political stability is a fragile concept, most saw Correa as an acceptable, long term compromise.
I would like to share an image from a change of guards – a ceremony that takes place every Monday on the main square in Colonial Quito. This tradition is marked by the strong presence of military and looks rather pompous. Correa was there on the day addressing crowds from the balcony of the Presidential Palace.
