Monday May 14/12 update
It was such a gorgeous sunny morning that a person just
wanted to be on the go. I was off to
Spanish class and Bella was off to the Coopera Credit Union to make up some new
deposits.
Paul indicated that they had no great ideas for marketing of
my childrens’ photos so I guess I am on my own there. Paul and the teacher Martha came with me to
Sabor Latino for lunch. As usual it was
fantastic.
My next stop was the Carolina Bookstore to change 3
movies. I found Dr Zhivago so that came
home with me for sure!
Then I headed to Parque Calderon and the iTur office to see
if they had the May events booklet yet, but the answer was no. Those booklets are chronically late.
So I headed up and over one block to the San Francisco market as I desperately need
some clothes. I picked up two hoodies
and two Adidas track pants for $38.
Bella isn’t giving me any clothing allowance so I am broke for a while
now.
It was so nice and sunny I decided to walk north, where no
man has ever been before, lol, to get a shot of the Catholic
University up near the Avenida De Los
Americas about 10 blocks from El
Centro. We had
often been by there, mostly at night by taxi, and I had always wanted to make
the trek there. It is higher up so a
person can get some nice views of downtown.
Now I have to go back at night when all the churches are all nicely lit
up.
I had responded to a GringoTree ad from an older couple from
California asking about information regarding Salinas and Cuenca
as spots to visit. I had given them lots
of insight and information and directed them to my Cuenca Residency blog. Tonight we Skyped and got to say connect. They will be here on Thursday night so we
have made an appointment to meet them Friday night at the California Kitchen.
DWTS is too close to call.
I used up all my votes for
Kathryn as she won’t have a big fan base in the USA.
I got a few late hummer shots so I experimented with one of them by making a composite photo with a background shot I had kept. I hope you like it.
Enjoy the pics.
That was today’s excitement. Hugs to all.
