Robbed! And all bars shut this weekend!

Well, visited el Panecellio and guess what.. got robbed by the most unlikely person...
Unfortunatly the heavens opened when we got to the statue of the Virgin.. apparently the only virgin in Quito... ha ha.. [they all seem to be at it and with kids by age 12.. saw a 12 yr old breast feedin in the town centre.. not nice] and anyway... so it was raining so hard took a bad photo and legged it back into the cab.. when we got to our destination it came to payment. We gave the guy a $20 and were expecting change.. but the W***ker switched the not for a $1 and then started shouting at us for not paying enough.. all we then had left was 8 dollars in hand.. and he then took, and threw us out the cab! ARGH!!!! ASSHOLE!
Anyway.. to cher ourselves up we had a cheap but very good Pizza, and headed to the Cuban bar! WOW.. it was crazy! absolutly loved it! there was a nutty barazilian there who must have been on speed, coz he didn;t sit down or stop jumping around all night! but they were very impressed with my samba dancing! LOL!
Most people wer dancing salsa most of the night which was amazing to watch.. also danced salsa with some of the locals.. great fun! Just being careful not to star to dance to ratoa.. leads to dangerous games! ha ha ha! Tonight being a bit boring, just going to the cinema, and thats it.. because sat off too Otavala.. biggest market around (2hour bus ride) and sunday mountain biking on cotopaxi.
You wouldn't believe, but all bars are shut tonight and the whole weekend, just because there are elections!! Proposterous! I will let you know how my weekend goes, and hopefully have some pictures!
