pyromaniacs

Here are some city folks we came across on an stroll one evening.





Yes, Charlie, you would have loved it. That's real fire and not a fireman in sight anywhere.

Actually, these fire balloons are only the preliminary event announcing an upcoming spectacle.

See the wooden castle-like structure on the left with flags?

Well, remember it for later.

The castle here is made entirely with fireworks. Getting excited yet, Charlie?

Notice there's no one standing to close to the castle now.

That's because nobody has any idea which direction the Roman Candles are going to go.

And, just when you think it's over...

The fireworks start up all over again.

That's me next to the castle plugging my ears because, in case you hadn't heard,

explosions are LOUD!

So, this was just a quick little entry to show some of the photos Jo's been taking over the past month. I'll try to get more of them out soon and do that more often.

Palm Sunday Weekend

As a special treat, I won't have much to say this time...

Cuenca is a beautiful city best appreciated from the top of one of its surrounding hills.

Yesterday, our friend Dora and her Rotary exchange student daughter took us up to Turi and

then out for a little lite lunch.

Today is Palm Sunday and the accompanying pictures tell that story.

Then, we finish it all off with some desert.

la Paz,
T & J
