Saturday Night Lights Across Quito's Churches

I have spent most of the day working at home ...while the plumbers worked in my master bathroom. They had to disassemble the shower area and repair some plumbing to stop the leak. I hope it is finally stopped, but I cannot use the shower until tomorrow morning to test it. The whole repair process was about 5 hours of work and made a bit of a mess. Although the plumbers did a good good of cleaning, I still cleaned again after they left. The only sign of the work that was done now is the smell of the sealant that they used. I'm sure that the plumbers lost quite a few brain cells working in the bathroom today as they smelled the sealing compound for several hours!

The city is beautiful at night and that is the time that I enjoy the most. At about 7PM, as the evening sky turns dark, the temperature drops to about 65 degrees, the traffic slows down, and the city becomes more quiet ...until about 9PM when the partying starts. I plan to go to a restaurant in the neighborhood and have a light dinner, then come back home to read. Tomorrow I have a busy day.

Earlier in the morning, I plan to do a long walk again down to the valley and the old church at Guapulo. Then I have to meet some visiting lawyers from the USA and some of the Embassy staff for brunch. After that I will do a little shopping and then come back home to prepare some things for work on Monday. The weekends are a good time for me to catch up on reading, too, so I'm sure I will do that.

I'll let everyone know how the walk and brunch is later. For now, time to enjoy the view of the city from my balcony and then dinner!
