Hey guys, It´s 8 pm here and I found an internet cafe in Cuenca......a whole dollar and hour. And it actually appears pretty decent with gaming console speakers and web cam. Pretty fast too. I thnk I´m willing to load some pics on this machine so I´ll post a few pics tomorrow.

Cuenca is a much nicer town than Quito...much more mellow feel, but its still a big city in a third world country....so gotta be careful, but I´m a pretty big guy here..lol.

NB, I´ll be here for Thanksgiving....aparently Guinie (sp) pig is a speciality here...not sure I am that brave. I´m not taking pics of scantily dressed girls...I already stick out like a sore thumb.

Google knows all, Ecuador mailing adds on the klx forum...ROFLMAO.

Right that's it then, I'm moving to Ecuador.

Like when I go to Asia. I'm a pretty big guy there.
Ok, not big, just average.

That place looks interesting, thanks for the pics. Dinner looked good to me. Nice looking smoker.

So what brought you to Ecuador? I know you said work, but what were you doing down there? Pretty cool to be able to travel like that.

Did you try to lay a few pesos on an escort driver for his ride for the weekend?

Thaks FM, when you travel, we all get to feel like we were there. Love the old buildings, and the food, a good start to a true ADV report.
