Saturday I fought with persistent computer problems and finally gave up. We decided to visit our pal Oswaldo who is recuperating from his car accident. He is on the mend and will be back at work on Monday.
Sunday we had a lazy day and did a late afternoon ride to Mall De Rio. I keep looking for a reasonable short helmet like my red one and for another pair of night glasses. We did find some excellent night vision glasses but don't have the $200+ to pay for them.
Monday I was to meet with a business associate but he had problems with his printing so the appointment has been shifted to Thursday. I think we watched 3 movies to while away the blustery day.
Today I battled with the computer again and finally thought I had the problems licked, but alas, the computer still freezes on me and I have tried so many cures...
Around 2:30 we decided to just get on Toxic and enjoy the sunshine. We just aimed East and decided from there. We went out on the Autopista to the Paute turnoff but turned right towards another upper forest area that has stunning views. I had been on this steep road at least 3 times before but decided not to go too far because I didn't want to use up my brakes on the descent.
Coming back, we continued to the old highway that joins onto Gonzalez Suarez and were a couple of blocks from home when we decided to just keep going West. Cristina had previously indicated an interest to see the Cementario so we headed there. I am still fond of many of the statues in this cemetery so it is always a pleasure to visit.
I hope you enjoy the photos. That
was the day's excitement, Cheers, Al
