Once a week I try to walk to someplace unusual or to a place I usually take a taxi or bus. Today I decided to walk to Coopera, the local food cooperative to buy pitahaya (dragon fruit). On the way I bumped into a fellow American. Clarke has been here for over a year and I have been living in Cuenca just short of 2 months. We have bumped into each other by acccident 4 times in less than 8 weeks. Cuenca's population is about the population of Portland Oregon. He invited me to lunch and we had a great Almuerzo for $2.50 which consisted of soup, juice, chicken, rice, macaroni salad, plantain and a banana for dessert. We then parted company and I went to the Food Coop. On the way back I got on the wrong bus so my walk was a little longer.
My wife asked me if I was too tired to walk along the Yanuncay River by our apartment. We enjoyed the cool weather and the great scenery by the river.
