Living along the Rio Tomebamba

I will save our travel experience from Quito to Cuenca for a later post. I write now about my experience in Ceci and Paul's neighborhood. Most homes here are two levels, with a front-gated area where cars are parked. C and P's home is the center house. It is near a park that is next to the Rio Tomebamba (river.

Many people walk the paths along the river. Others use the river to wash their cloths. This morning we met an expat about our age walking and reading his "Spanish cheat cards." He uses his morning walk to learn Spanish. He and his wife live in an apartment for $500 a month plus association fees. He said they live quite comfortably on $2000 a month, plus they are able to travel. WOW!

Paca and Fusil will host us for lunch.
