Friday March 8/13  update #386

Happy Birthday Bettye.

I was off and running early just to get downtown and take some photos because I agreed to be back in time for Rosa to do the housecleaning.

I managed to get inside San Alfonso church, the City Hall, the Provincial building, the Old Cathedral, then the Justice building followed by the Civic Centre next to Parque Calderon.   I have taken many shots of things I have taken before, but wanted to see what kind of results I would get with the new Canon camera.   There were many beautiful Ecuadorian artworks and statues, and I got a couple of candids as well. I do hope you like the results.

There are too many photos so I only got through less than ½ of them so far so you’ll just have to see the rest tomorrow.

Today is Women’s Day in Ecuador and there was a celebration about to commence in the Civic Centre but I didn’t have time to stick around.   A video store had a couple of movies that caught my eye so our collection has grown by another eight today.

Bella was off to the weaving store then to meet the lady who is going to translate her documents to enable her to get her own separate Residency permit here in Ecuador.

We went out to La Vina for pizza for supper and enjoyed that immensely.   We ran into a ferellow that lived in the county of Strathcona near Edmonton, his sister and their friends from Montana.  Then at an adjoining table there was a couple with 2 kids, he was from France and she was from Quebec.

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