We decided to explore the old city and check out the doings. What goes on in Cuenca on Christmas eve.
We stared with a bus ride to the old city and found that the cathedral was closed. We expected some kind of service happening or at least it would be open for private prayer. Nope-Nada- not much happening in downtown Cuenca.
We went for Ice Cream! This time we ordered from a picture and everything came as we wanted.
As we left the shoppe, music was heard close by.
A band composed of young people was entertaing.We enjoyed listening.Behind us a platform was set up and a few people were gathering.
FIREWORKS
That was fun
With the show over it was time to catch a bus home. There were others waiting, however no bus came. After about 45 minutes of waiting, our thoughts went to catching a cab. Too late----by this time everyone else had the same idea and there were very few taxis. So , as it was getting late we felt we should begin walking and try to find a bus or flag down a cab as we went. We went and we went until we had walked 3.7 miles all the way home. Another adventure in our new city
Christmas morning found Sharyl making crepes in the kitchen
We enjoyed them on our sunny patio and new table.
Merry Christmas To All
The evening brought us to a favorite restaurant " Don Colon" where we enjoyed a Christmas dinner of Filet Mignon The meal was fantastic.
As we left our dinner,we enjoyed listening to a native musical group playing outside
They were very good and we enjoy the music of the pan flute.
And so we spent a very pleasant Christmas in Cuenca.
