I did a few plumbing repairs this morning then got a little cabin fever so I went for a drive south, through El Valle and just kept going until the road conditions told me to turn back.    The roads are so winding that a person losses their sense of direction up there but the sun told me that I was mostly going south and east.
The views of the El Valle area are breathtaking and this journey just accentuated this even more.
There is a mountain to the east that I call Table mountain because it totally flat on top.  Apparently the city wanted to put the airport up there but indigenous protests put a stop to that, as did the wind conditions, which made it unsuitable for safety reasons.  Over the last 3 years I have seen Table Mountain from many vantage points but today I felt that I was actually above it and could see the beautiful flat area up there.
And I was certain that I could see Challuabamba and also Azogues, dominated by the mountain with the statue of the Virgin on top.
Anyway, it was good to get out and put the car to some use and get some really fresh air.
Hope you enjoy the photos.  That was the day's excitement,   Cheers, Al 

I'm assuming I was still in El Valle at this point

Spectacular views as I climb higher, Table Mountain very evident

This is another view, a little to the right

And this is the view to the left side

Getting higher, above Table Mountain

Table Mountain is pretty darn flat

Top left center is the mountain with the Virgin overlooking Azogues

I only needed one meal today and that was to pig out on a deep-fried turkey dinner for Thanksgiving at Joe's Secret Garden.  Then top that off with 3 slices of pecan pie and I was waddling the rest of the afternoon and evening.
I arrived for the early seating at 1pm in the beautiful sunshine and then hung around to help for the second seating at 5pm, but I bugged out as they were about to serve the food.  Lovely people and a great time and a lot of photos to process.  I sure got lots of requests for my business cards today.
Hope you enjoy the photos.  That was the day's excitement,   Cheers, Al
