Last night I was down at San Blas Park waiting for the church to be lit up behind the fountain, but that didn't happen.
This morning I went early to the Etapa office to pay my property taxes on the house. Our taxes in Canada er over $3,000 per year. Here in Cuenca they were $19.46!!!!!
Then I decided to investigate how to make some small shelves inside my shelf unit so I can have a second row of DVD's on each shelf. I checked with the woodworkers, then the metalworkers and was quoted from $100 to $300, so I gave up on that idea. However I did come up with a brainstorm for $12 that might work... I'll let you know later.
Tonight, while wandering up Calle Larga we came across this great wall mural of boy with a guitar. I modified it somewhat to eliminate some graffiti but I am always impressed with the talent of such artists.
Then the lights on Todos Santos church beckoned yet again...
Hope you enjoy the photos. That was the day's excitement, Cheers, Al
