It was sort of strange, but as the day of my departure came closer, I found that I was more nervous to leave Cuenca than I had been to come there. I was very distracted did not want to leave.I was too restless to work on my blog or my novel, so I spent most of my last few days in Ecuador, when it wasn’t raining, walking around town, stopping to talk to expats, and taking photos.

I was perplexed by the structure going up in plaza going up near the coffee shop.

It seems that someone thought they were in Paris

The Puente Roto as seen from the other side of the river. On the other side of the
Tomebamba river the path was parklike. One the side I was standing on, the path is a generous sidewalk.

For days I had been watching the workment setting up the Christmas lights across the river. At first, only a few fishes were lit up.

On this day, I made a point of going out late to see if more of the lights were on.

Until the lights were turned on, I didn’t realize that the squiggles were supposed to be waves of water.

The river had become quite high with the rains that had kept me in side so much in the last few weeks I was in cuenca.

Heading home, I got a great view of the sunset from the top of the stairs near my place.

My Inconvenient Live

I am a retired American Merchant Mariner.  l was living a nomadic lifestyle somewhere between being a nomad and an expat, before Covid19. I moved from country to country as my visas ran out. This blog covered my travels and the random thoughts about life, technology, travel, and the Oxford comma. Now I am stuck waiting for the pandemic to pass. During this time my posts will have very little to do with traveling, and more to do with keeping myself entertained during lockdown.
