Not a very nice day today, so I was forced to take a bus to Joe's Secret Garden tonight. Luckily the rain took a break when I reached Las Americas and it didn't really rain much afterwards. The rivers are running high again.

A good crowd of 123 people on hand tonight for a Cajun deep-fried turkey meal followed by sweet potato pecan pie.

Apparently one of the patrons last week complained that I called the front outside room, (now glassed in), the "garage". I have always called it that, but apparently it now is called "the fern room", or "the glass room".

It was an unusual crowd tonight of friends, and a lot of people's exes, but all is well in the land on the Equator.

I hurried my meal and gave up my seat to some late-comers, so I had the first piece of the pecan pie in the kitchen and I bugged out early.

I caught a cab back on my usual route which takes me by the Bus station and the end of the runway of the airport. I was surprised when the cabby pointed to the left and said "avion" and it took a second for me to realize that he was pointing at the plane that crashed and almost came over the fence! I had thought the plane was at the other end of the runway all this time.... Anyway, I quickly dug out my camera and took a couple of poor shots through the windshield of the moving cab. They apparently are not going to re-open the airport until they remove the downed plane, maybe by Tuesday...

I hope you enjoy the photos. That was the day's excitement, Cheers, Al
