I had errands to run downtown in El Centro today, firstly to get live watch battery for Cristina's watch which we only bought a month ago... The jeweler was very kind and didn't charge me for the battery.
Then I scooted over to the Fuji Store kitty-corner from the Santo Domingo square and was pleased to see a school band of mostly xylophones and drums practicing the Cuenca Independence song. It is amazing what a great combination those two instruments are..
At the Fuji Store I was getting a photo printed and framed for the memorial service for John Stivers at Joe's Secret Garden on Friday. John was a recent regular at Joe's with his wife Pam so it was quite a shock to hear of his sudden passing. They had just celebrated their 48th wedding Anniversary at Thanksgiving at Joe's and this photo was taken then. RIP John.
I then met a new Canadian resident and fellow photographer, Kevin, from Calgary, at the Black Olive Bistro which is owned and run by Melissa, from Montreal. We each enjoyed a really beefy hamburger to satisfy our comfort food cravings, and I even topped that off with a lemon meringue pie.
It is kinda neat that I knew every person who stopped in there for lunch... This town is getting too small for me....
I hope you enjoy the few photos. That was the day's excitement, Cheers, Al
