Usual morning, go to Chaplo Santa Cruz. Chat briefly with Fray Guadalupe. Look at broken egg shell from snowy egrets. Have whatever Lorenzo the business manager is having. I just ask for huevos Lorenzo. I get something different each day, just like him.
We decided for another walk via the route of the other day – go south about 4 blocks then turn left instead of right as we had before. As you can see from the photos, we jus keep climbing the side of the mountain. The view and the homes only seem to get bigger and better.
As we come back to our level – only 6400 feet altitude rather than the million $ stratosphere, see working people homes. Cute one has Bimbo bread and soft drink sign outside. The also sell ladies lingerie – what is this? Also check out the work done by stone carvers – many great craftsmen here, Can understand why people want and do spend money on these beautiful places.
We come back to Casa Liza, wash up and head for Café Rana, where we recently met Jason the owner. Carol had pulled pork with a curry sauce. I had curried chicken on rice with purslane garnish.
From there, back to Jardin. Saw dance contest featuring Cuban music and dance styles – way too kewl. About an hour later, saw a wedding party leaving the Parrochia – or St Michael the Archangel church just across the street. Maybe I can ad a short video clip of how they have fun here.
I mist say, they know how to party. The couple who got married are staying in the colonial compound just in back of us. We had a chance to enjoy their music the other night while watching the starry sky and sipping wine.
