We arrived in Cuenca yesterday afternoon after a short, no hustle flight from Quito. Barbie and John, our hosts extrodenaiare, had an English speaking taxi waiting for us.

We arrived in Quito Saturday afternoon to find three of our five checked bags missing in action. We weren’t too worried however because many people from the same flight had missing luggage. This flight had passengers from three canceled flights on it so a few lost bafs (delayed luggae in airline speak)  was inconvenient but understandable. The bags arrived at our hotel Sunday.

We had a very relaxing stay in Quito at the hotel Dann Carlton.  The name is not misspelled. One of their eateries is the Eiropa Café and it features wonderful lattes, deserts plus regular breakfast, lunch and dinner items. We had very tastey selections from all particularly desert. We highly recommend this hotel if you are staying in Quito.

We have much to do in a short time frame now that we are in Cuenca including providing this update.

The weather is nice considering this Winter in Ecuador. A bit chilly at night, probably low to mmod 50s.

Hasta luego.
