Our donation for a local Charity

We have always loved taking photographs, it has been a common passion for Michael and I since we met in High School. 
That was a LONG, LONG time ago.
 
When we heard about a local charity auction to benefit homeless animals in Cuenca,  we decided to have a few of our pic's printed and framed as our donation to the silent auction.  We donated Six Framed photographs.
 
 




 
Views from the balcony in Cafe Eucalyptus, the restaurant that
the Auction was held in.
 


 

 
As usual, Michael and I arrived at the specified time, and as usual for Cuenca, everything started later than planned.  Then, we were told that the event had been oversold by 50 tickets, that meant there would be a delay in the food service, so the Wine, Beer and Scotch were free flowing until the food would be ready. By then, there were a gazillion people, the place was jammed.
 It was a party!
 
 
 
There was an incredibly enthusiastic singer.  He sang Beatles tunes, and songs in French, Italian and Spanish. The guy was pretty good.

(Sorry for the bad pic of the singer).
 
 
It was a really nice evening, but by 10:30 we were ready to go home, so we left before the auction was completed.


All six of our photogragraphs sold!!  We have no idea what they sold for, but we are happy we helped a good cause.

Cuenca, gotta love it!
