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/
