Quote:"Ecuadorian slang is a unique blend of Spanish, Kichwa (the nation’s indigenous language) and foreign loan words." By Maureen Stimola This Quote is from a blog http://www.fluentu.com/blog/spanish/ecuadorian-slang/ The whole article is really a fun read.

Old Town Quito is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Quito is famous for its scenic churches, famous artists and artwork, and wonderful museums. It is situated on the lower part of an Andeas Mountain. In 2017 it was listed as number 3 place to retire in the world because of it's affordability, climate, and healthcare.

The La Cason De La Ronda is truly a wonderful place to stay. It is so homey. The Scenic lounges beckon the residents to restful living.

I don't care much for cooking. The tour was refreshingly interesting. We started off in a market and I love shopping for fresh food so, this moved the tour forward with lots of information about foods available locally. Learning how the local city dwellers live and about their culture is a pretty good way to understand the problems they face as a society. One of the places on the food tour was a real home so the cooking aspect was special.

I opted out of the Tasting Room. I cannot abide beer as a beverage. I went back to the Boutique and spent some time resting and talking with other visitors in the lounge among the hanging plants.
