artesanias de america pt 1

Last Saturday, Dad, Susan, Tommy, and I went walking along Rio Tomebamba looking at all the artists' booths that were set up as part of Dia del Indepencia de Cuenca. It was pretty nifty seeing art I hadn't seen around here before, and I snapped nearly a hundred photos over a few hours! I managed to pick out the best ones (I think!), and here's part one of my Saturday!

a birthday at chiplote

We all went to dinner at Chiplote last Thursday for Tommy's birthday. Tom is Bill's brother who just moved here a little over a week ago, and they are both staying on our third floor until they find get paperwork submitted and find a place of their own. I only snapped a few shots, and that place is really dark (and I hate flash!) so please excuse all the blurriness.

daxter

Meow, meow, meow, purrrrrrrr - look at me! I'm cute!

lots of meowing going on

The cats are growing, and Abby likes to play with the new kitten, Bandido, now that he's a bit bigger. Daxter doesn't look very big looking down from my room, but he is huge! I haven't taken new shots of them in a little while, so here's a few from the past couple of days.

random round-up

A few more random shots from the past week. I never get tired of taking macro shots (or simple close-ups).

mish-mash

I haven't been consistent with my photo taking lately, but here's a mish-mash of shots I had on my camera from the past couple of weeks.

Deportivo Cuenca football match

This past Sunday, Dad, Susan, Frank, and I went to a Deportivo Cuenca (the local football (soccer) team) match. They won the game 1-0, but it was a tad boring. They aren't exactly a top team and their skills need work; but this criticism is coming from a girl who played soccer for 20 years and coached as well, so my standards are, quite possibly, a bit high.
