Sunday April 14, 2013  update #422
Bella was off to her Bridge Club while I did my Internet chores then just collapsed back into bed.
I got up in time to meet Bella at John & Barbie’s shindig on Los Alamos for John’s 70th Birthday.  Gosh it seems like forever since I had a simple event to attend that did not necessitate any demands on my time or my camera.  I was able to visit and have a few drinks with many of our new friends in Cuenca.
John and Barbie have this incredible bungalow they have for use as a B+B while they live in the “cottage” at the front, which is actually a maid’s quarters.   The huge yard was perfect for a lovely “fall” evening of potluck food, good music, and schmoozing with friends.
Our shock of the evening was seeing newbies Mike and Jing yet again at this function.  They must think that we go to everything in Cuenca because we have run into them everywhere in the past week.  They even happened to pick California Kitchen as the place for supper last night and stumbled upon our Silent Auction.  This is truly weird.  They are leaving in a few days and are supposed to be back to stay in 3 weeks.   They are defying all local wisdom and are desperately trying to find a place to buy before they leave.    We wish them luck in that misguided endeavor as you can’t get to know a town like Cuenca in 2 weeks.
Winding down from the stress of working on the Auction is not easy, as ideas and questions constantly swirl in this old brain and won’t let me fully relax.   Hopefully this will improve over the next few days.    Tonight’s fun was a good start.
That was today’s excitement.   Hugs to all.  Please see all new photos at http://souvenircuenca.blogspot.com/
