Thursday
June 30, 2016
Wednesday had a light rain in the morning but then it cleared up nicely and we went to Feria Libre, just to get out of the house. Cristina finally bought a nice light rain jacket with a hood in a nice coral colour that goes good with her colouring.
Today I decided to get
our portion of the 6th round of refunds for us Perjudicados de
Coopera. They said they needed color,
notarized copies our cedula or paasport, and bank book or CD. I took no chances and got 3 out 4 notarized. I tried our usual Notary and they said he
wouldn’t be in for 90 minutes. I went
across the street and that Notary wouldn’t be in for 30 minutes. I went up the street a little further and found a third Notary
who was actually working. I had to wait
15 minutes or so but there were no problems and I even got a Tercera Edad
discount.
Then it was off to Banco Del Pacifico with baited breath… However, there was no line-up and I just had
to say “Coopera” and hand in the documents to get a nice surprise amount of
$1,946.20 which I happily split with my ex, less expenses.
The weather is improving, still a tad cool, but a lot less rain this week.
It was Thursday night so off I went to ride with the Herederos at the Broken Bridge. I hate Ecuadorian time.. They ask people to be there at 7:30 but we don't get away for over an hour. However the ride to El Valle was nice for a change, and we got to watch local kids play futbol. I am amazed at the skill of some these kids at such a young age. You should have seen the huge smile on this young girl when she actually scored a goal, you'd think she had won the World Cup!
We came back and went to the Pizza House on Paseo de Los Canaris and I had my signature "meat lovers" pizza. Mmmmmm good!
I hope you enjoy the photos. That was the day's
excitement, Cheers,
