In the time spent not showering, we explored the city on foot. Cuenca has lovely buildings - but let's zoom in on what's behind the pretty facades.... stylish restaurants and good food!
Cool lamp made out of broken crockery hanging in Raymipampa
Digging into my beef crepe and Dan's "Pollo 4 Rios" after a super tiring trek. Raymipampa has good local dishes.
A traditional tamale made of corn meal, chicken, raisins and peppers, steamed in a leaf
Dipping sauces at Cafe Habibi for our kebab dinner
Gelato at Tutto Fredo, US 90 cents per scoopOkay, so let's leave the food alone and get back to introducing the pretty city of Cuenca.
Flower stalls fronting grand buildings
Strolling along the streets here is a visual pleasure
Doesn't quite look Ecuadorian to me!
Checking out his fav WWE stuff
Even the Red Cross gets a fancy facade
Beautiful blue dome of one of the 17 churches in Cuenca
Grand entrance to the cathedral
Small stall outside the church where you can buy offerings
Lots of shoe-shine stands around...
...and I mean lots

Enjoying a super big class of freshly-squeezed pure mango juice for US$1

awesome pictures!
Hi Chos, I didn;t know you had such stamina to endure holidaying for so long! Beautiful pictures.. waht's the camera you eventually bought? Have fun.. Praba
Ya, the buildings are lovely...the rows of terrace houses rather like our 'peranakan rows'. My SIL (son-in-law)looks good without that baby-doll haircut!
Stephanie: Thanks! It's easy to take great pics when we have great subjects! :)
Praba: Thanks! We're barely halfway through our trip, so there's much more to come! My camera is the SX 200IS. The wife is using a 450D, both from Canon.
TK: What baby-doll haircut?!?
All shots are very nice and beautiful. These are awesome pictures. Thanks for sharing it.
