    Was in Ecuador few months but did not get to Cuenca; must return as so much more to experience! Your ‘Outside the US’ doesn’t list Kenya–my husband visited years ago, vivid memories. Ruth at traveltoons.com

      You absolutely must go back to Ecuador and visit Cuenca. My husband and I loved that city. So much more of a true cultural experience than Quito. And, you’re right. I need to list Kenya. It has been quite a few years since I was there, but it was still a memorable trip. Ugali, mosquito nets, and a photo safari, etc.
