Thursday March 10, 2016
The afternoon rain seemed to be cleared off for a bit, so after a quick nap, and an even quicker corn-on-the-cob supper, I was off to the Broken Bridge to meet the biker gang. I arrived well before 8pm (arrival time is 7:30 on Ecuadorian time) and was by myself for what seemed like an eternity, so I thought that maybe it had been called off. I amused myself by taking more photos in the area.
Finally at 8:15 some showed up and another couple at 8:30. Ugh! I hate this late crap. Anyway, we ended up with only 4 bikes and 6 people so we had a quick ride through El Centro, detoured past Parque Calderon because Bolivar was closed off for some sort of musical event. We finally ended up on La Condamine in front of my favourite statue of the family climbing the greased pole.
Just as we were about to leave, it started to sprinkle and we headed back, so I beetled off home just in case the rain decided to become a deluge (which it didn't).
We also have had no water since about 4pm........... It is amazing how much we depend on water, electricity and Internet!
I hope you enjoy the photos. That was the day's
excitement, Cheers,
