    Community Theater in Cuenca

    June 26, 2017 /

    “You Know You’ve Worked in Community Theatre if…    …your living room sofa spends more time on stage than you do.    …you have your own secret family recipe for stage blood.    …you’ve ever appeared on stage wearing your own clothes.”   — Golden Bear Drama The majority of my time in Ecuador has been in small coastal towns with no movie theaters.  My husband and I decided to spend the first half of 2017 in the Andes mountains. We chose the city of Cuenca, Ecuador’s third largest city.  We were looking forward to going to a movie or two while in the big city. We found something that we…

    Six Hours in Quito: Layover Tour

    June 19, 2017 /

    Planning I recently had a twelve hour layover in Quito, Ecuador’s capital and second largest city. My initial plans were to read while at the Quito airport and not much else. My imagination had this layover seeming to last a very long twelve hours. Instead of staying at the airport, I decided to go on a six hour tour with Tours Around Quito. With my flight arriving around Noon, the tour would take me right up to a few minutes before the 6:30 sunset. Quito Airport Arrival Gustavo Tupiza, who owns Tours Around Quito with his wife, Elizabeth, picked me up from the airport and we headed straight to the historic…

    Cuenca’s Seven Acre Market – Feria Libre

    May 29, 2017 /

    “Wherever possible, I like to use home-grown or locally produced ingredients.” — Mary Berry Cuenca is a UNESCO World Heritage Trust Site known for its beautiful historic buildings. Ecuador’s third largest city, Cuenca is 2500 meters (8200 feet) high in the Andes mountains. With tourists focused on architecture, it is easy for them to miss what could be a highlight of their trip. In my opinion, the Feria Libre seven acre market is a must see. People travel from miles around to buy and sell goods. It even has it’s own bus terminal! Buyers know this is where they will find the lowest prices. Entrepreneurs rent space knowing good products will…
