This afternoon ends my first full week of teaching. Time to go lay down on a park bench heated by the sun and reflect. Cuenca is a city of stairs. Build high on a ravine overlooking the Tomebamba river, the city is divided into the new and the old. There are even two cathedrals in the main square, the new one with its three sky blue domes you can see from anywhere and the old white church built out of Inca Temple stones.
The set of stairs we usually take to and from school has 88 steps straight up or down depending on your direction. There are stairs though that are more of a switchback, but at this altitude they are all mountains. If the clouds look close, it's because they are.
Enjoy,
Tony n Jo
