The rest of February....

By Donna B. McNicol -
I know, late again. But really, it's been an extraordinarily BUSY month. Honest! Here is a bit of a photo journey to prove it...

Stu went to Florida for his retired Firefighter reunion.
Stu stopped in to see my brother & his wife before heading to Key Largo for some scuba diving.
While he was gone, I got sick but was finally well enough to attend a Newcomer luncheon at Don Colon's Restaurant.
I had to visit Mall del Rio to pay our Internet, Telephone & Health Insurance. While there I finally got a good photo of this tag on a sweatshirt.
Valentine's Day brought flowers to almost every street corner.
Stu arrived home on Valentine's Day with this beautiful bouquet.
We met up with some motorcycle friends as well as a local, great lunch at Don Colon's.
Our favorite 2-story artisan shop is closed for renovations so many of them have set up shop alongside the cathedral, opposite Don Colon's.
More artisans....
Another meet 'n greet with Moe and her mom, Winnie. Moe plans to move to Ecuador and Winnie will visit during the frigid Boston winters.
A little excitement at the end of our street...glad I have a camera with a good zoom!
The flowers lasted almost two weeks, blooming beautifully!
A new print magazine was launched in town, you might recognize the name at the bottom?
The launch party for the magazine...over 500 people attended. It was a nice mix of locals and expats with several news media folks as well.
So yes, it's been a busy month. Oh, and I've gone to yoga almost every Monday and Friday, written a short story for an anthology to benefit a friend, helped 4-5 friends look for a new apartment, attended a steering committee meeting for a writing conference, started my own writing group, "Writing Our World (in Cuenca)", created a newsletter and website for that AND created the start of a website for our good friend, Simon Cordero, for his restaurant and jewelry business at Magnolia Caffe.

I think it's time for a nap!

Indurama Appliances - made in Cuenca

By Donna B. McNicol -

Both our used refrigerator (if you can call one month old, used) and our brand new stove are made by Indurama , a Cuenca based appliance manufacturer. They come highly recommended and after using them each for a month, we are thrilled with them. The stove is REALLY sweet, in fact Stu wishes he could bring it back to the US with him. It's a six burner gas stove with an electric starter button (see the * in the second photo) that works wonderfully. It also has a grill that can sit on top of the two center burners and he has already used it for bacon. We both like the glass top for extra counter space if needed. Nice add! The refrigerator isn't huge but since we shop once or twice a week for fresh fruits and veggies, we don't need huge. The one downside is here the doors are NOT reversible. Really! That was the first thing Stu looked at. We've gotten used to it opening in the wrong direction and fortunately we have a good sized kitchen so it doesn't get i

It's done, We're done!

Finally, everything has been sold (although some things will be picked up during our last three days here in Cuenca). It's been quite a process but surprisingly fairly painless. Once all the big things (and many, Many, MANY small things) were sold, we divided the final items into bags for friends in need. Today we had a going away party at  Magnolia Caffe  . I think we ended up with at least 40 people in attendance - it was amazing! Magnolia is a special place to us. The owner, Simon Cordero, hand-crafted our wedding rings back in May 2013. The wait staff of husband and wife, Huber and Karen, have become like son and daughter to us and their son, Juan Pablo, a grandson. We took over the restaurant today - these photos were taken before another dozen or so folks arrived. We had over forty people take time out of their busy schedule to see us off. Oh, and we also had three tables outside! Other friends couldn't make it today but we have been able to see them around to

Cinco de Mayo - a Mexican holiday in Ecuador

By Donna B. McNicol -

Cinco de Mayo isn't celebrated in Ecuador. Why? Because it's a Mexican holiday and one that many in the US have adopted as a reason to party. In our case it became a reason to meet up with friends, both old and new. Jack Abercrombie , a well known tour guide-driver from Quito (the capital of Ecuador) was visiting the area for a few days and called for a gathering of friends at Fabiano's (our favorite pizza spot). He anticipated maybe 20-25 people. We ended the afternoon at over 40! We saw old friends and made several new ones. We caught up on folks were doing, talked motorcycles, listened to stories about health care here in Cuenca, chatted about the adventure of moving here and a lot more. Here are some photos I took...great afternoon and delicious food (I had the lasagna and Stu had a meat lovers pizza). [click any photo to enlarge] It was the nicest day we have had in weeks, warm and sunny. We started out the day walking in El Centro, beginning at
