On Saturday, January 29, our good friends from Rochester (Jean Marconett/Roger Borowick/Darlene Voeltz) arrived for a whirlwind tour of Cuenca and Ingapirca before we all headed to Galapagos. Fortunately, all flights/trip went well, and they arrived on time, providing us enough time to walk around Cuenca a bit before having THE BEST MEAL EVER at El Tiesto. The place is unique and is run by a chef with FLAIR – so impressionable that we will take all of our future guests there. After gorging ourselves on Saturday evening, we got up early on Sunday, and a private van/guide/driver picked us up and provided us with a narrated tour of Cuenca (other locations, including Turi – see pic) before heading to Ingapirca (see pic and note that a blog on Ingapirca will be coming). Then we spent the night in Guayaquil before heading to the Galapagos for 6 days of learning about and reveling in nature (blogs coming). Oh -- and we did have a few glasses of wine and beer along the way (also recommended).
In total, it was great to see Rochester friends and great to visit some new places in Ecuador!
