Maybe there will be another nippy week or two but in the meantime Cynthia and I have resumed our pleasant Sunday strolls. We've created an hour or so walk that takes us beside the Yununcuay river, down lovely Solano Avenue, then along a beautiful street in our neighborhood called Luis Morena Mora before returning home. After gazing on my gruesome mug shots the past few weeks I thought you'd enjoy seeing something more enjoyable. So come along with us on yesterday's outing.
Remember, we live in the "Land of Eternal Spring." Even when we have occasional periods with lower temps the flowers continue to bloom.
Here's the closest representation of what you consider winter that I could find.
Our walk begins along the Yununcuay less than five minutes from our apartment.
It's so peaceful here, and the views are spectacular.
Sometimes the path takes us beside massive eucalyptus trees.
A new food truck park has opened near Solano Ave. Cuenca's getting hip!!
Solano Avenue is normally very busy, but Sunday is family day here so roads are almost deserted.
We always pass by a couple of Sunday flea markets. Don't think they have much we'd be interested in----
Yesterday we popped into a mercado to see if we could find pumpkin seeds for the granola Cynthia makes.
The fresh food area wasn't very busy, but the "food court" was doing brisk business.
Success! That dinky 2 ounce bag from Supermaxi costs about $3. We bought the 10 ounce bag on the right for $4.
Sunday after church is a popular time for families to eat out. This is an upscale al fresco seafood restaurant on Luis Morena Mora.
Here are a couple of shots just to show you a bit of what our neighborhood looks like. A lovely new condo building
And the mature trees and landscaping add so much to the visual appeal
Looks like a motorcycle club decided to dine at the nearby Mexican eatery.
Back home after a pleasurable walk. Thanks for joining us!
