Some days are diamonds, some days are stone… John Denver https://youtu.be/loQMgQFx924
I actually got a lot accomplished today! I even cut and laminated all my awards after
taking them out of their frames here so they will make the trip to Colombia
eventually.
Yesterday I again heard that fellow photographer
Bill Riordan had passed away recently but I certainly heard nothing on social
media that I can recall. Bill was known
for taking the photos for the Cuenca Symphony. RIP.
I heard good news from friends Linda and Lee that
they have a pending deal on their condo so they may be back here in late May
for that final goodbye to Cuenca. Who
knows..?? I may still be here and will
get the opportunity to enjoy their company again.
I went downtown and ran into a couple of teachers from a local English school. They are
Ecuadorian and worried about their pronunciation and diction, so they asked if
we could do a reciprocal English-Spanish language exchange. That really shocked me because they don’t
even know me but seemed so keen on the idea.
In a weak moment I said yes, probably because of the boredom and, just
maybe, if I get busy again, that will cause the house to sell and make me break
some commitments..??? Sad idea huh? Maybe just getting stupid in my old age.
I am getting lazy too, using the little Lumix lately...
I had called Gustavo and he was going over to the Herederos ride tonight and he said yes so I went as well. However they were only having a meeting about changing the format of the Herederos to a friendly meet-up of people who want to ride, no more structure... They will keep the Facebook page and the WhatsApp notices (which I don't follow anyway) so I can't see that much is going to change. It either has to be interesting, with a fun ride or people stop showing up...
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
