We got to the Quito airport after 11 last night, then took a cab to the town of Puembo near the airport, for our hotel -- Rincon de Puembo. Beautiful spot, reminded me of the fancy governor's hacienda in the old Zorro TV episodes. Very nice, relaxing morning before catching the plane from Quito down to Cuenca.
We checked into our hotel -- Casa San Rafael -- in the heart of old Cuenca, and spent the afternoon wandering around and people watching. Needed our Spanish dictionary, but got along OK.
After lunch we wandered over to the huge food market, where Carolyn was toally grossed out by the meat section. Finished the afternoon eating ice cream at my favorite park and watching the folks strolling and playing.
Pefect weather, cool, gentle breeze, plenty of sun.
I'll try to get some Cuenca photos tomorrow.
We're resting now, waiting for our guide Roger to arrive.
