Sunday 24th November 2013….hiking day!!

Woke up to overcast skies and a bit cool and left the house by 7.45am to meet up with the hiking group..there was about 20 of us and the leader decided to divide us into the groups and I chose to go with two of my tennis buddies, Barry and Steve and with Barry leading us on  a different hike we walked from the meeting point up one of the side streets and through this tunnel under the highway that I never knew existed

It was a great 3 hour hike which we enjoyed and to think it was all around the city!!!

I stopped in to see Daniela at Casa Hogar but was told she was not there and then I went to see if Paola was home and she was not either.

So what do you do when you are driving home and the road is blocked….

You park your scooter and get ready to take photos…. never know when you will come across a parade here

I have no idea what the celebration was.

Stayed home the rest of the day doing odd jobs around the casita and I did watch the big Football game from Canada but it was a bit one sided……

the 30 dollar printer that I bought works well I printed up some copies for my class tomorrow night.

Yashi Koshi!!
