Saturday Afternoon at the Portage Restaurant

Our local watering place is the Portage Hotel (Restaurant). It’s a real neat pub at the junction of about four snowmobile trails. This is what keeps it going in the winter as hundreds of machines and the people on them pass through the parking lot. Many stop to rest for a while at this friendly, comfortable and unique warm place for coffee and perhaps a bite to eat.

Today was the warmest in several recent very cold ones, in fact almost bikini weather. Lots of people out for a ride.

Winter is a fun time of the year.

It’s Still Cold

On Jan 7 this photo was made at -30 C. There was hope that the weather would moderate for the rest of the winter.

Portage Cold

Faint hopes have been dashed by one of the colder winters to be remembered around here.

All that has changed is we now have more snow. Please tell me you believe in Spring!

Before the Snow

It seems like a very long time ago that the paths of the Cove were accessible without snowshoes.

It was indeed only three months past.

Family Transportation

In Guayaquil and other cities, I saw many small motorcycles/scooters with families riding them. Sometimes the mom would hold the baby and with others the child was large enough to ride in front of dad.

Family Transportation

Economics dictates choices.

At least the family is wearing helmets.

Catedral Metropolitana

In the middle of Guayaquil across the street from the Iguana Park (Parque Seminario) is the Catedral Metropolitana. It is also known as the Cathedral of St Peter. The original cathedral was made of wood and built in another location around the time of the city’s founding. It burned in 1692. This building was constructed between 1924 and 1937 in neo-Gothic style. It is located in the centre of old town Guayaquil. The interior is very impressive.

A quiet place to meditate.
