The morning was slow and relaxing. For lunch, Abbey, a friend of Mike's (the owner of the center where we're staying) prepared an authentic Ecuadorian meal - Ecuadorian potatoe soup, baked talapia, and zuchini (sp?) from her garden.
Mike then took Jenny to his son's (Patrick is a chiropractor, who has been in Ecuador for 17 years) office for an adjustment; she really needed it! We then took Abbey to her doctor - he is Japaneese, so I spoke to him in Japaneese; he was surprised! We then went to a small restaurant called Las Gigantes De Moroch and ate, as an appetizer, some empanadas (they're kinda like quesadillas but are individually folded). We then went across the street to El Chacal restaurant where we had dinner of steak and two different kinds of sausage; it was supposed to be three types (pork, veal, and blood), but we switched a second veal for the blood. Jenny & Abby had a fruit juice (Naranjilla) that, according to Abbey, only be found in Columbia and Ecuador; it was very good!
An interesting thing about parking: When you get ready to pull out of a parking place, someone will be there to help you, then you tip them for the service - usually 25 cents.
Oh, and I did get a cell phone but the instructions are in Spanish!
It was a good and interesting day. We're looking forward to some new experiences tomorrow!
