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.
