Richard and I are very pleased to be back. avoiding the extreme cold and snow back home.
I love this door. There are lots of beautiful doors here.
Maureen kindly lent me her seeing machine to sew up a simple dress with beautiful randa, the elaborate embroidery used to join two fabric edges.
Some pretty wild wiring here.
Mobile knife/ machete sharpener. We used to have similare in suburban Toronto 65 years ago.
See the guys working on the roof?
Street view near El Parque Central. Cathedral on left, Volcan Agua in distance.
Holly tree? Cute ice cream cart.
There used to be horse drawn carriages but they've been replaced by these electric ones.
Hospital Hermano Pedro. Volvan Agua shrouded in clouds.
Pilas (wash tubs) at El Tanque. Years ago you still saw women using them to do laundry. bathe their children, wash their own hair. In smaller towns they are still used by many women who don't have running water ar home.
If you enlarge this photo, you will see numbers enscribed on the larger cobblestones going up the middle. They will be digging up this part of the road, and presumably putting the stones back in order.
Richard in front of a massive old door to a church ruins.
I love the look of the walls when they are stripped back ready for renewal.
These homes show most of the colours allowed by the rules of Unesco World Heritage designation.
This beautiful rose near our entrance has unusual striations. No fragrance though.
