Ecuador - Once more
Posted On 02/29/2012 07:32:47 by Oldredneck

Ecuador, for the most part, loves expats from most countries moving there, if nothing more than they generate a lot of dollars, whether in food, restaurants, houses, apartments, markets etc. and help the economy. I love the fact that the American dollar and all it's coins are used here. No money exchange problems. As a matter of fact, Ecuadorians prefer renting to those of us from the States...we are Norte Americanos (male) or Americanas (female), because they know we will take care of the p... Read More



The Sucre neighborhood in Cuenca, Ecuador
Posted On 02/26/2012 18:51:22 by Oldredneck
Early Saturday morning, after meeting my friend Wes at San Blas Café and
having a huge breakfast Burrito, made with 3 eggs no less, and meeting another expat couple, we left and Wes showed me an area of Cuenca  I had not yet explored, and was I pleasantly surprised. The streets and sidewalks were all new.  There was traffic bumper to bumper, and people everywhere. A very festive atmosphere.  Something must be going on this week that I'm not aware of, but we continued on....... 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
