Cuenca bus tour and more.....


Hey everyone,
Hello once again from Cuenca Ecuador this morning (Poppi) Chuck and I went and followed through on a promise to these two princesses from yesterday. What it was, is to take them on the Double Decker bus tour of Cuenca, everyone went to bed earlier than we have on this relaxing Vacation so far last night which wasn't really busy or was it? We got over to the other house at a little after seven twenty and they were finishing their breakfast of Rice Crispy (like Ecuador version) at least one was ready to go....and the one finishing her breakfast checked on her sister was raring to go too. Mimi decided NOT to go with us this time for she was going to be working on planning for tonight's dinner, we got taxi and went to where "the pony riders"part of the park from yesterday. When the time Chuck had talked to the bus tour driver came and went with no bus showing up he decided to go across the way and get his shoes shined. Petra upon seeing this decided that she too would love to have her pretty shine back in her

own shoes as well.We then headed over to a building that is adjacent to the park that I have only seen from the outside always before now, it's where Cuenca holds cou
rt cases above but on the bottom it is a opera stage and also has this beautiful shrine after seeing this and still not knowing when the bus was coming we all decided to have a second breakfast at a small bed and breakfast place a few blocks away where the girls were telling me and (Poppi) their Precy Jackson/Lord of the rings tales with something about making a more detailed movie version of a orphanage story that their older sister Parris came up with and somehow in the mix of storytelling Paige seen here, came up with a Trigonometric answer to a story she was telling about a bird's wing color it was like this "See that window pane over there well if you take it and divide it by the letter A,12 which the window pane was in and times it by x,4 you have the color I'm talking about for the bird's wing, which was Aquila green. She has just turned ten a few days before Mimi and Poppi brought them here to Ecuador, by the way.We then went souvenir shopping in that part of town where they have stuff mostly handmade or being really neat in every way, unfortunately all of us expect Poppi had no moolha with us at the time but I'm sure the girls will pay him back before we leave for home again. Still not sure what time the bus tour started we went back over to touring information area and found out the tour started at eleven am it was ten twenty so we went into the cathedral for a few minutes or at least I did and I got a few more shots than just this , where mass was just gathering. When then caught the tour bus and this was my third attempt at using my movie cam but definitely not the last of the day (boy I hope the tour will come out mostly okay but I just have a fear it's all zoomed up to much, but we will see I guess? when I put it on you know where....) After the tour we went out for ice cream and I filmed the girls doing a windy day skit, then we went DVD shopping for the classic movie "GREASE" then we to a taxi home and enjoyed some hamburgers with Brian and Shelly oh yes and their dog Freddy I also helped the girls out with a skit of theirs called "the elevator".
