Wednesday September 26/12 update

OK, the photos are posted from yesterdays Night Photography Tour.

I was up at 4:30, going through the 109 photos, that I cut to 64 with a quick glance last night, and now have cut them down to 41 keepers after 6 hours of work.

I am certainly not displeased with the outcome from last night’s successful excursion.   I hope you like them.

I arrived at AAC along with Richard so we started the “class” ourselves.  The people kept drifting in, and we had a full house with parents and kids.  Thank God Richard is good at instructing and keeping the kids occupied.  Chris came in later and had treats for the kids as we closed down a little early.

There was an ad on GringoTree for free salsa lessons and I figured that would generate a turnout so I thought I would stop in and see what the catch was.  It started at 6pm so I walked all the way downtown and was still way early.   I bought 8 movies as my supply is getting low.   I saw something new today, a policeman actually giving a ticket to someone!  There were also two funky home side-by-side on Gran Colombia that always catch our eye so I took their pictures for your viewing pleasure.   A little further up is one of the Sacred Heart churches that I don’t get to see very often.

The salsa room is not far from the main cathedral and it is above a tour company office but the pitch I received was for Spanish lessons, 20 hours in a week, mornings or afternoons.  They are also 1 on 1 lessons so they can’t be cheap.  No price was mentioned.

I am pretty sure the GringoTree ad said the instructor had 25 years experience.  Well either of them must have begun in the womb because they were awfully young.  There was a group of about a dozen but I was happy to get out of there after the hour.

The river is already getting low again.  Please send a little rain our way, preferably at nights, OK??

I stopped across the street for 2 pieces of chicken, fries and her wonderful coconut drink, for a whole $2.90.

I am so beat I am going to crash at the earliest opportunity.

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