Another day at the "office"

Today happens to be an important day in Palacaguina history.  During the civil war in the 70s, a famous general lived (or maybe fought, still sketchy on the details) in Pala.  So today instead of having class, we all walked out to the shrine of where he’s supposedly buried.  It was actually kinda cool because living relatives of General Ortiz gave a little speech.  And, I kid you not, two people played a flute and guitar cover of “The Sound of Silience”.  Anyway, there’s this cool mountain/hill behind the shrine and I climbed it.  It was a pretty steep and technical climb – it felt like “127 Hours” because I went by myself clutching on to reeds and scaling boulders (there were hundreds of people below, stop your worrying).  Great view at the top!

What did you do on your Monday morning??
