Cuenca Ecuador, June 2008

Cuenca is a World Heritage City. It was truly a beautiful city.
One of the lovely old churches and the square in front of it.
On the main square, there were numerous shoe-shine stands. They were always busy. We didn't get our sandals done, though!
Again, lots of indigenous people shopping and selling.

In Cuenca, we met a fellow in the barber shop (as Ralph had his hair cut). He told us about a double-decker bus tour. The next day, off we went!
From the top deck, we had a great view! A roof garden?
As we travelled through the city, we were periodically told to duck!!! The low wires just skimmed our heads! They nearly decapitated a couple of young fellows behind us, as they weren't paying attention.
I don't believe these were the owners/workers at the shoeshine stand.
But, another interesting shot by Ralph, the wonder photographer!!

Truly, it was a lovely city and we had perfect weather for our tour!
An old aquaduct near the river.
I love windows and doors! I took this shot for a future painting.
We visited a Panama hat factory. Who knew they were made in Ecuador??
Of course, I had to buy one!


We never tire of the beauty of the markets.
We're not sure what this lady was selling, but they make such great photos because of their interesting faces.
Ditto.
And again.
I rest my case!
