The subscription service on the right seems to be working again, so if you like the Blogs come automatically to your email (so you don't have to remember to look every day). I hope that it is fixed for good..!
I rushed with Cristina to yet another clinic to make an appointment for some new tests. This time the appointment is 3 weeks away... I hope to have most of this stuff out of the way before July when we have to make the big decision as to whether we stay with the IESS coverage or not. I am still awaiting some response from the IESS contact but it is really obvious that they haven't thought all of the ramifications through..
My physio today was back to the electrical impulses with heat pads followed by a lot of new exercises. Hope they will have some effect.
We had a quick lunch and headed up to the Mirador de Turi because it was a reasonable day with dramatic clouds to show Dawn the beauty of our city. I even brough a tripod to take some better shots even though I had to use it like a monopod on a few of the shots up higher.
We then took a cab up the hill southeast of us to the Mirador de Rayoloma for another viewpoint.
I have used the free program of Image Composite Editor to stitch shots together for panoramas since the Canon does not have that capability. It does a pretty darn good job and I can even start from RAW files or DNG files, although starting from RAW does not work well.
Later in the day I am feeling very electrified which is not what I hoped to be feeling, although we did do a lot of walking and climbing. Thank you so much to Dawn who is such a fantastic houseguest who likes to walk the dogs.
I hope you enjoy the photos. That was the day’s excitement.
Cheers, Al
