Every Monday at 9am the palace guards hand off responsibility of the palace. The band marches out of the palace. Then both the out and in going guards march into the square. They face each other the flag is raised. Everyone sings the national anthem and the sword is passed to the incoming. This something that is not done for the tourist but for the people of Ecuador. The presidents have come out during the ceremony to wave to the people from the palace balcony. Depends on how popular they, either cheers or boos. I really enjoyed it.
Sooo did they cheer or boo!?!
So everything has to be political? I’m so sad that this is where we have gone in this world…
