Busy Holiday Season!
It's been a busy couple of days since Christmas. Nothing spectacular but several walks into El Centro, both for the exercise and seeing the sights. Today was no exception. I had fun snagging a couple of photos from the bus...coming and going. Angels waiting.... Funny costume, guy pretending to be an effigy (viejo) Doing the Santa walk? We had a leisurely walk to Don Colon's, passing many places selling effigies and masks. The flower market was gorgeous and quite busy, too. After a delightful lunch (Stu had grilled chicken breast with rice and beans, I had a hamburger and fries - we both got soup, juice and a pudding/yogurt type desert for $4 each), we continued meandering around the city. It seems as though animals were center front today. Only one of several we saw today. Most were along the Tomebamba river, probably headed for a small parade. Who is walking WHO? No, not the same dog! There were several in the park today. W
