My Cuenca blog from November
Posted On 03/12/2012 21:05:42 by Oldredneck
Here is another blog from November that I had sent only to my family. You may find it interesting. I've sent you some pics in several emails now, but failed to say anything about the activities, so here is an explanation for your information and entertainment.

Every year, the last day of October (known in the USA as Halloween) All Souls Day...or....Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is celebrated. This rolls right into what probably is the largest event of the year for Cuenca...Indepen... Read More



Chapter 4 - My continued adventure in Ecuador
Posted On 01/10/2012 12:06:51 by Oldredneck
  The churches here in Cuenca, Ecuador are fantastic. Most have that Old World charm of the Spanish of the 16th. century. Inside though, most of those I've visited for Mass, are very simple. Just the basics. Others are so much more ornate, especially the Cathedral in El Cento, across from Parque Calderon.

Last Saturday, I walked into the center of town to a new church ( the name escapes me right now) I had not been to previously. It was beautiful outside, as are most of them...but... Read More



Chapter 3 - My Adventures in Ecuador
Posted On 01/06/2012 08:39:07 by Oldredneck
I had gone to bed around 11 PM (2300 hrs) Thursday, after scanning through over 100 cable channels, and didn't find any of the English speaking programs I wanted to watch.  I was glad to see ESPN will be televising some American football on Sunday and Monday night.  I love to watch American football.
 
 
I must have slept well, as I got up at 2:30 AM, but felt rested and refreshed.. So I stayed up and had a cup of coffee and thought I'd check my email, hoping that ea... Read More



My Adventure in Cuenca, Ecuador - Part 2 in a series
Posted On 01/01/2012 20:06:53 by Oldredneck
Day 2 started out slowly, with me sleeping in until 6:30 AM - Ecuador time. We are 1 hour behind DST in the States. It will be the same time here when DST goes back to EST in the Fall.  I made myself a cup of Mountain Blend instant coffee I brought with me. I had to drink it black because I had absolutely nothing in the fridge or cupboards. Good thing I brought some Stevia to sweeten it. As it turned out, it wasn't too bad.  I am pleasantly surprised by my complete lack... Read More



My First Day in Cuenca, Ecuador
Posted On 12/29/2011 15:22:13 by Oldredneck
Phew....what a day. I'll not advise about my first day flying originally from Cleveland, Ohio to Atlanta, Atlanta to Miami and finally into Quito, Ecuador, where I stayed the night at The Travellers Inn. This story will start on my second day, when I was driven back from the Inn to the Quito airport.   I finally got into Cuenca around 1PM Wednesday, with a lot of help from 2 people I met at the Quito airport, Garth and Orilla Bogart from Canada. (These were the first of many people I call... Read More
