After I had had a lovely breakfast and discussions with friends Leona & Greg, I walked back towards Parque De La Madre.  I had noticed that numerous tents were being erected along the Tomebamba and that several had some stock, so by the time I returned many booths were up and ready for business.
There seemed to be way more tents this year, on both sides of the river, and I think that I only saw a small fraction of the eventual displays.
Cuenca's Independence Day on November 3rd is cause for multiple celebrations around the city and it always seems to coincide with the best weather of the year.   It is definitely the best time to visit here....
I found a lovely black Ecuadorian shirt, and a nifty incense burner and incense that I could not resist.
Hope you enjoy the photos.  That was the day's excitement,   Cheers, Al 

Tents being erected along 12 de Abril

Tents, tents, and more tents... as far as the eye can see

On both sides for a stretch looking east

Last night at Roux, Tom Dravis donated 3 bottles of excellent liquor for a fundraiser raffle to help the kind works of the Hearts of Gold Foundation. Thank you Tom. Sorry that Tom left before we took the photos.
Tuesday night is Trivia night and our HoG Heaven team of Tom, Natasha, Neil and I got off to a disastrous start and were badly trailing the pack coming into the final question. After betting all our points, Neil came through with his knowledge of the names, and colours, of the 4 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and we ended up winning the night! THANK YOU to Abby Cottongim and Roux for a fun night, to Tom Dravis for his generosity, and to all the folks who came out to support the event.

That was the day's excitement,   Cheers, Al 

Trivia Champs once again....

Thanks to Abby and Roux for another great evening.
