Thursday July 20, 2017
Between walking the dogs and trying to catch up on my sleep, I wasted most of the gorgeous day. The morning was foggy but then the sun broke through for a long awaited sunny and warm day.
I took Buzzer in for his 1,000 km check and had the mechanic adjust the gas tank cover to stop the small leak problem. Buzzer was actually running very nicely when I picked him up.
Then I joined the Herederos for the Thursday night ride. While doing my usual pre-photos to the ride I popped into the Santa Canela restaurant above the Broken Bridge again hoping to locate a friend from the OBG dance but they were not there. However there was a bellydancing performance going on. I took 3 photos and left. The Herederos were talking about doing a small ride to Otorongo, to Remigio Crespo, then to El Vergel and find a place to eat because it was a cool evening. I was happy that they changed their plans after Otorongo Plaza.
We went west to Las Americas then north on ?? and just kept going up and up to the northeast edge of the city. It was pretty cool (meaning cold) up on that mountaintop and then we went back down and ended up at the restaurant next door to my home. I wasn't in the mood for Ecuadorian food so I went home and helped Cristina walk the dogs again.
I hope you enjoy the photos. That was the day’s excitement.
Cheers, Al
