Cuenca, Ecuador
We love Cuenca. It has the splendor of a beautiful European town, but it is all so cheap! We slept in our nice and comfy hotel room, got up for our 8:30 breakfast (included in room price), then went back into bed until around noon. This is what a vacation is all about!!!
Once we mossied out of our room, we set out for laundry and internet. The town is full of fun little boutique shops, restaurants, cafes and ice cream parlors. The buildings are all beautiful as they line the cobblestone streets. There are many plazas you can discover while wandering around and a great big brick church in the center. We ran across a little Mexican restaurant, and believe it or not, Mike and I have been craving Mexican; they sure know how to cook! You can’t really get anything spicy in Central America, or South America (at least yet). I didn’t think I’d be craving Mexican food so soon…but it was awesome. So good that after lunch we made a deal that we’d go back for dinner. We ran into Adam after lunch at the gelateria, got an ice cream then cruised some of the boutique shops. Mike got a very fresh hat and I found a nice little sweater (I guess I’ll have to ship that home!). A lot of great shops and prices to go with it! Too bad I didn’t have an extra suitcase…
We must have walked most of the old town by the end of the day, but it felt good to move our legs around rather than just sit all day. After a little break back at the hotel, we set out with Adam for the Mexican restaurant (take 2). It must have been great food, because even the second time we were smiling and singing sweet songs to the delicious comida.
Mike and I got a great DVD discovery, Casino Royale (007). One dollar each--Yes please! We even found the new Leonardo movie that I don’t think is even out in theatres yet…thank you South America! I guess we’ll be staying up to date with the latest and greatest movies!
Our great day in the city made us excited for what lies ahead in South America. It was a good breath of fresh air and much needed.
