Wednesday September 12/12 update
Where does the time go?  By the time I check 5 emails, Facebook, then check and upload to 3 photo sites, the morning is completely gone.
We all showed up at the Amigos Activity Center (hereinafter referred to as AAC) close to 3 pm and the kids slowly streamed in.  Nobody had anything planned so we started with teaching them English words, then sentences, following the 100 Essential Spanish Words I found in an online Spanish course.  These kids are really bright and we really mingled today.   We sat amonst the kids and participated in the games.  The last portion of the class was spent with some animal photos and descriptions that Nancee had previously provided.  
We have so many ideas that can only be brought to fruition with cooperation, donations, and funding.   There will be a few more meetings over the next couple of weeks to iron out a few issues.
Some of the sights today:  a kid doing repairs to a canvas canopy of a moving vehicle, street meat ready for cooking, and they are redoing the outside wall of the Cemeterio.
On the way back I walked through the hundreds of booths set up at Feria Libre.  Rick Smith had let me taste a red banana he had just purchased there and it was so sweet and juicy that I had to get some.  I was also out of tomatoes so I hunted until I found these bananas being sold way in the parking lot.  A bunch of bananas and 6 tomatoes cost me $1.50.
I was only wearing that yellow Ecuador jersey I had purchased yesterday and it was getting pretty cool so I asked a lady in a nearby booth the price of a  fleece jacket.  I got it for $15 and was toasty warm all the way home.
That was today’s excitement.   Please see all photos at souvenircuenca.blogspot.com.  Hugs to all.
