Last Night in Cuenca

We've loved our time here and can easily see why so many people have chosen to move here recently. It is not only one of the most beautiful cities in the world, but it also has some of the friendliest people, from the lovely women who served us breakfast, answered questions and were always there to help at our hostel to the sweet man who rushed over to the sidewalk from his market stall with a stool for me to sit on when he saw me leaning against a wall to rest, everyone we met here was truly friendly and helpful. A smaller city, it is relatively quiet. The architecture, the charm of the cobblestone streets, the flowers, everything about the city exudes charm. But it's time to go home - home to sea level air, home to really great food, home to friends and familiar places where we know what the prices are supposed to be. There's a lot more to say about Ecuador, and another couple thousand photos to show, but it's time to go.
