Tuesday December 11/12  update #311

Bella was off to shop at SuperMaxi and then to her bridge instruction so I went to meet Jay at the Book/Movie Exchange at the Windhorse Café. 

I had 2 movies to trade but also had 3 that I had picked up a month ago that I couldn’t bring myself to watch so I brought them to exchange as well.   I managed to find Zorba The Greek which I haven’t seen in many, many years and Anthony Quinn has always been a favourite.

Then we just headed for the Pumapungo Inca ruins because Jay had never been inside the fence.  The aviary was a real treat for Jay and we even saw the peacock come out today but there were no peahens around so he was not showing off at all.   The peacock still has amazing colours without the arrayed tailfeathers.

I myself had not been in the sundial corner of this park so we really enjoyed the gorgeous cacti and agave in that area.   There were also many colourful birds there but they wouldn’t stop to pose for us.

Then we went to our favourite Long Street Café & Bar for an almuerzo and a very welcome cerveza.

I am getting many responses and some new participants for the two photography tours so I am very busy collating information.    I certainly hope the weather cooperates for us on Thursday so we can have a cloudless spot to watch the Gemenid Meteor Shower.

I saw a note from some Australian friends that it is 12.12.12 there and the end of the world has not occurred.  I wonder what all the Doomsday nuts will latch onto next??

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