Saturday-Sunday September 29-30/12 update

It is 4am Sunday morning and I am beginning work on the blogs.  I downloaded my photos last night but decided to kick back and watch a movie rather than work on pictures.   I have all day today to do that.

Yesterday was a catch-up day on rest, again up early, but I would work for a couple of hours then crash for a couple of hours all day until it was time to leave for Joe’s.

Joe’s was having a Mexican night so I did not know what to expect.   Joseph said later that he hates doing Mexican food as it puts too much work on his plate.   But the food was tasty and got lots of compliments even though I prefer our own tacos much better (we use some sour cream too, and they didn't).

We were pleasantly surprised to see Greg and Leona back in Cuenca.  They have divested themselves of all their stuff in Belize and are glad to be out of that country.  They have had 5 friends killed there and decided they had better leave Dodge before they were next.  They were seated with Melinda & Bob, and Richard & Sheryle Verkley of the Hearts Of Gold Foundation.

My seatmates were Bruce and Carolya (the y is silent) from Montana who also have sold everything and moved here.  They are connected with Richard Verkley in business and precious metals dealings.   It is turning into a very small community here, all interconnected, and everyone is asking about Bella’s return.

There was an ad in GringoTree that the Hearts Of Gold Foundation is looking for more help.  So I have thrown my name in the hat since I now know them all, and they are all Canadians who are running it.   I am hoping to scale back my involvement with the Amigos Activity Center once we can get a proper rotation of teachers and volunteers established.

We received another teacher volunteer enquiry, last name Tessier, so I wonder if she is related perchance to cousin Mac’s wife from Minton.

At 7:30 I petered out and napped some more while my photos uploaded to DropBox for Joseph.

11am was time to get laundry underway and to do the chores and finish off the blogs.   I have lots of chores today since I now have to go into AAC tomorrow because of the new teacher enquiry.  I was hoping to take Monday off, but no rest for the wicked.

That was today’s excitement.   Please see all photos at souvenircuenca.blogspot.com.  Hugs to all.
