Tuesday June 3, 2014
Monday was grocery day and my bill was $26.74. I bought a bag of 14 large oranges for 81c
and that made 1.5 litres of fresh juice.
300g of ketchup was 74c, 1 litre of good red wine was $3.49. That is one reason I am still here in Cuenca.
Today I was determined to get out and enjoy the weather so off I
went to Alliance Francaise to firm up my volunteering for their 3 day music
festival June 19-21. I am working the
Friday at 4 different venues and am supposed to supply 30 quality photos of the
event. They will supply us with badges
and maybe a t-shirt.
Then I went downtown intent on buying some jeans for the Hearts Of
Gold BBQ and Barn Dance next month. I
found some at the first store I looked in, then I bought 3 pair for $62. Rather than drag that heavy bag around I came
back home, stopping at El Espanol deli for their ham & cheese sub with
chips and a drink for $2.99. I want so
much to be able to buy the buns they use, apparently they are baked in Guayaquil and they are
the softest sub buns I have ever tasted.
Then I hopped the bus back to Solano and did some walking around,
taking photos. I tried to see an old
friend but I just missed them.
NOTE that you may click on any photo for an ENLARGED VIEW.
Hope you enjoy the photos. That was the day's excitement, Cheers, Al
