Friday February 26, 2016
After a very sleepless night, we got up before the sun, borrowed a shovel from the neighbour, and went east to a quiet spot among the ancient eucalyptus trees.  There we buried our sweet little Lupe in this lovely park-like setting and made our goodbyes.
Our next chore was to try to see our friend Regina C. who we were told was in the SOLCA hospital and that visiting hours were from 1-2.  We get there and they say visiting hours are 2-3....    As we left, we got a call saying that Regina had been moved to the IESS hospital near our home.
Next I went to check on the progress with my PC repair.   I gathered that he said that they had given the hardware a chemical wash and that, so far, it is operating normally but they want a couple of days to be sure.  So I definitely won't see it before Monday.
Next I tried to buy a retractable leash at a place in El Vergel but they had none in stock.  Come back tomorrow...
So we headed home and went to IESS around 2pm but visiting hours aren't until 4-7....  So we come back after the rain about 5:30 and are shuffled from here to there but Regina is not on any of their lists...   After a few phone calls (Regina herself is not answering) we are told that she is somewhere in Emergency and we would not be able to see her until the following day...
Days like this are just too common in Ecuador and it is not always easy to maintain a smile and roll with the punches.
Sorry, no photos.  That was the day's excitement,   Cheers, Al
