I was determined to go out on a photo shot and my photog friend Paul Wolf was willing to accompany me if the weather improved, which it wasn't a whole lot, but we figured we would drive east and take a chance.
Paul had been to a nice outlook called San Miguel the week earlier so we headed that way but couldn't locate the turn-off so we ended up in Azogues.
We had a lovely lunch at a place called Pepe's and the weather was still iffy so we climbed part of the mountain so I could get a couple of shots of the huge statue that overlooks Azogues.
Then we went to the lovely church that also dominates Azogues and I took some shots inside the church which had some amazing altars and a captivating crucifixion scene.
Paul is a real purist photographer and, if the sky isn't right, he doesn't take any photos. Oh well, we had a little drive to while away a lazy, rainy Friday... We can always head to San Miguel another day.
Hope you enjoy the photos. That was the day's excitement, Cheers, Al
