Tuesday October 9/12 update
I slept on the couch for 3 hours because the boys had
occupied my bed, but they found me so I headed upstairs but the followed me, so
not much sleep was had after that.
I ended up downtown and was crossing the river to notice the
rickety, rudimentary scaffolding being used to work on two adjacent
bridges. There is no Occupational
Health and Safety issues in this country… whatever gets the job done…. I then took a few shots while sitting at
Parque Calderon of the buildings, the shoe-shiners and the hustle and bustle.
I had managed to easily find the shop that sells these
solar-powered dancing flowers. We
already have one in our front window and Jorge Beltran liked it so much that I decided to grab one for
him, and another for us. Two for $5 wasn’t
bad. I called Jorge and he popped over
to pick it up at lunchtime.
I took the #50 down to our old neighborhood to see if the
electrician was done repairing our house fan.
He said the brushes in the motor had broken down and he plugged it in to
show me that it now runs as good as new.
The repair cost was another $5 from my pocket. I managed to get it home using the bus.
There was a disturbing message on GringoTree about two
missing American missionary women that had very little information. I emailed them to find out where they have
proper information posted. Please see
https://www.facebook.com/WhereIsBre There are very large hints of religious cult
involvement, etc that just boggle the mind of any rational person. I guess Ecuador is not immune from nutjobs
either. We hope these poor women are
found safe and sound.
Man, I spent all afternoon working on uploading photos and
preparing others, then had to get busy on this blog…
That was today’s excitement. Please see all photos at souvenircuenca.blogspot.com. Hugs to all.
