Saturday January 5/13 update #333
I was having trouble sleeping so I got up at 4am and started
to search for something that had been bothering me. Paul Wolf said he had found that the river
going by our places was the Yanuncay, and not the Tomebamba as I had thought,
and he was right. When the two rivers
merge at Parque Paraiso just west of us I was sure that the merged river was
the Tomebamba, but it is rightfully the Yanuncay. Few maps show it at all so it took a lot of
searching to figure this out.
I worked on photos until 8am then tried to catch a few winks
until 11am when I got back into more photo processing.
We left early for Joe’s because we wanted to arrange a bus
for me to get to the airport in Guayaquil
and all those firms are near Feria Libre.
I need to catch a plane 11:10pm on the 17th, so that means I have to
catch the bus at 5pm for a 3 hour drive and then a 3 hour wait at the
airport. The cost is a whole $12. I am taking the red-eye to NYC to arrive at 5:55am.
We also checked for the cost of a van when I return at
10:35pm on Feb 3. That is a different
story because it would be a private trip costing $80, which really isn’t bad,
but I would rather spend $100 and get an English-speaking driver I know to pick
me up properly and drive me right to my door.
There are a few of those we know who would do this.
Joe’s Secret
Garden was having its
famous Southern Fried Chicken tonight so it was a full house as always. There had been rumours of some people being
upset at having their photos taken every Saturday however none of those were in
evidence tonight as everyone was very jovial and cooperative. I was careful to always ask permission tonight
and the people were just wonderful.
Pretty soon I’ll have to start packing for that trip to Canada as the
time sure flies by quickly.
That was today’s excitement.
Hugs to all. Please see all photos at http://souvenircuenca.blogspot.com/
