Cuenca - Non Festival/Parade

We went to town early, because we thought there was going to be a parade at 9:00 am. due to Carnaval, There was nothing to be seen, we walked around several blocks but did not see anything.  Carmen was disappointed because last night was the first night of Carnaval, with the Comadres and Compadres Fiesta and we did not attend.  She spent time online trying to find the events for Carnaval.

We went back to the hotel and returned late in the afternoon and saw that they were setting up for live music.  We stood around and waited for the music.  The band kept warming up and they played one song.  Then it started sprinkling.  We don't know if it was the rain or the band did not like that the crowd was very small...they walked off the stage! 

​Carmen entered into the clothing store in the center of the square and purchased some pants.  It was super cold and raining so we decided to take a walk and then took a taxi back to the hotel.
