Holiday in Ecuador

We had nothing scheduled for the weekend except laying low because it was an Ecuadorian holiday weekend. The Ecuadorians take their holidays seriously. The partying is intense and loud. Alas, relaxing and hiding from the masses was just not going to happen.

 Linda rented out her friend Val's condo as furnished. Val is a British expat we met on our last visit, who has since moved to Cuenca (in the mountains). Val had left some furniture behind , but a few more pieces were needed, so Saturday was furniture buying day. Sunday was my time to shine putting it together. While I did that De Anne organized the kitchen with new dishes, coffee maker, etc. The delivery of the bed did not happen as promised - but that is a whole story in itself.
