Retreat...

Went for a walk again to Parque Calderón.  There was a little celebration happening in the gazebo on the north side of the park.  It appeared to be something about Jesus.  The military band played in the background and this man danced with his handkerchiefs.  People sat around the gazebo staring blankly into space.  The afternoon air was thin and soft, blowing on its own accord.  I sat down on a forest green park bench.  Catholic girls walked by and looked at me as if I were an alien.  Not really thinking of anything in particular, I fixed my eyes on a pigeon.

Parque Calderón...

I feel guilty for not keeping up with people.  Why am I so bad at correspondence?  I can think of four people that I owe some long-deserved letters -- Rob, Jeff, Dale, and Roger.  If you are reading this guys, please forgive me.  I also realize that I need to write Leslie too.  This quarter has been so busy -- 20 credit hours and a good dose of culture shock.  I will write you soon. 

Went out for a walk after lunch down to Parque Calderón.  This is pretty much the center of town here in Cuenca.  The huge Cathedral in the background is simply called La Catedral and it is a massive building.  Nothing like a enormous church to make you feel the glory of God -- Conquistador style.  I also like the woman walking through the foreground. 

I am so tired right now.
