I know not everyone is a Footy Fan, but almost everyone loves food and family, so this post should appeal to most of you. We have been in Cuenca for a week now, living with a (wondeful) family; thus, we have had the opportunity to try some traditional food and some non-traditional as well. Our host mom has fed us well. Me gusta la comida de Rocio.
Per Rocio´s recommendation, we also went to an excellent local restaurant that was very reasonable. It was here that Stephen first tried the typical Equadorian soup which has cheese, potatoes and avocado. (He liked it).
Not only have we eatten well, but we have also had an excellent experience with our host family. We all went out together for Soledad's birthday, Rocio's daughter-in-law. You can see the photos below. And Stephen finally got to have his cono simple (just a scoop of delicious helado on a cone, oreo flavor in the photo if you are curious). Note to self: order from the menu as it is mas dificil to alter your order in broken Spanish. (por ejemplo, somehow plain vanilla frozen yogurt in a cone turned into a cherry sundae (not shown).
The happy man with tie and sundae is the esposo of Soledad and a Spanish professor at the school we have been attending... more to come regarding Cuenca, our host family, our school, etc., but we are being kicked out of our internet cafe... we´ve been getting funny looks for 30 minutes and all the other computers have covers over them and the workers are waiting to go home, so hasta luego, but soon...
