The weather is quickly changeable but always comfortable here, at the most requiring a light jacket. If the mornings are drizzly, then the afternoons are usually sunny and warm. Gotta love it.
Friday morning I was helped by Carlos to get registered for health coverage on the IESS (Ecuadorian Social Security benefits) mainly because the attending hospital and doctors are only a couple of blocks away. Apparently virtually everything is covered, even the prescriptions, after a 3 month waiting period.
I giddily purchased a new portrait software program that my friend Mark has and am playing with it with great enjoyment. The possibilities are absolutely incredible so I am very pleased with the exciting results. I am showing you the amazing changes I have made to a very ordinary photograph of myself to give you an idea, and I have a lot to learn about it yet.
Hope you enjoy the photos. That was the day's excitement, Cheers, Al
