A New Fountain

The other day when I was uptown, I noticed that the Iglesia de San Fernando (church in centro) was putting the finishing touches on a new water fountain in their yard. We had noticed it a week or so before; but I didn't have my camera with me. That day it was working and the water was cascading down both in front and behind of La Virgen. The day I took this picture the workmen were putting a finish on the rocks. It smelt like some type of varnish to me. I will have to take another look at it on Thursday when I am back up in that area, to see if they finished it and to see if it is running. It looks like they will be planting some plants around it and it should look nice when it is all done. This is the area where every Christmas they have the live animals in a Nativity scene. I asked my spanish teacher (she attends this church) where the animals would go this year, as they are a big draw for the children. She thought they would just move them to another area of the churchyard.

Water cascades down the rocks both in the front opening and the back opening.
