Saturday October 13/12 update #253

As I was on the bus to Joe’s today I remembered about Jorge Beltran’s volleyball group so I disembarked and went to watch for 15 minutes.  Yes, Jorge himself was playing in the white shirt with blue trim and doing very well too.  Generally he was the setter for the young fellow in the yellow Ecuador soccer shirt.  It is too bad they play so late or I would be happy to join in.

Our proposed menu at Joe’s today involved a distinct departure from the usual fare.

See the details of this cult movie here    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0204640/

They had the main room set up for the movie and everyone was to arrive by 5:45 for the start of the movie.   I had never heard of this movie before but it was a load of laughs from beginning to end.    I will definitely be picking up this movie if I ever see it for sale.

There was a poster in the bar room that looked strikingly similar so I just had to check and, sure enough, Joe had promoted a show using the star of the movie, Leslie Jordan, in a similar role.

We met another couple from Saskatoon today as the Canadian contingent continues to grow here in Cuenca.  John and Barbie were conspicuously absent today and then I found out that Barbie had been sick and hospitalized.  We hope things are better soon for them.

The snacks prior to the movie were excellent, then the meal and desserts were polished off in no time. 

I was so bloated that I had to leave early and get home and into some comfortable clothes.   I was in such a hurry to leave that I forgot my umbrella there (it was raining when we arrived).

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