El Museo del Bicentenario

Yesterday, instead of having our Spanish class, we went on a field trip to the Bicentennial Museum. The building was very beautiful and if you want to see pictures click on the title of this post, "El Museo del Bicentenario." While there, we learned about the revolution of Ecuador against Spain that started in 1809, making 2009 the bicentennial. We listened to guides through the museum talk about different parts of the revolution and we watched a few videos. I now know why there is a street in Quito named 10 de Agosto. That was the day the revolution started. It was all very interesting and a lot of fun. After going to the museum, we went to El Jardin, the mall for lunch and then headed back to the seminary.
