March Walking, Part 1

Some random shots from our walks to share.

(We'll post the 2nd half of March toward the end of the month.)

Another colorful party shop.












A new-to-us doggie at the photo área in the Square.  This doggie is being socialized, a little nervous and not as laid back as the others.  Still very cute and well behaved.































Carnival is all about wáter:

Water guns for sale.









Wading pools for sale, too.






























The Sunday Walking Team (plus Rich with the camera.)












Tour bus in the sun.  Look at all these sun umbrellas!
















One day we saw people on the roof of the New Cathedral.  Imagine the view from up there!












Banners for upcoming events.











































We can''t get enough of these beautiful blooms!

















Anyone know what this tree is with curious seed pods?













The old Miso restaurant is getting another paint job...guess the gold that was painted just a week before wasn't the right color.  We still don't know what the new business will be.









Fancy street treats for sale, children love it.





We think it's whipped egg whites.  These are decorated with coconut, sprinkles, and a cherry on the top.
We still haven't tasted it...not sure our stomachs are ready for egg whites sitting in the sun...








One Sunday at the Square folks were collecting signatures to get the Yasuni oil drilling issue on the ballot.














































More construction in the neighborhood, always fun to watch the progress.






























Neighbor doggies enjoying the sun.




















 Up 10 floors, a wonderful view of the City!
