Cuenca, Ecuador: The Apartment
El Departamento

After spending our first month fighting gum infections and scouting business opportunites while living in private hotel rooms in Hotel Milan, we finally scored an apartment, located over a vegetarian restaurant in the center of town, just 2 blocks away from Parque Calderón.
	The restaurant, Govinda's, was opened a couple years ago by a group of Hare Krsnas, and was then sold to two local couples with all decorations intact. It has a very middle-eastern feel, with Indian blankets and Yogic paraphernalia everywhere.
Some of the simple decorations within our apartment.
	An Ecuadorian banderita attached to a light fixture on our balcony. Many an hour was spent on the balcony reading, drinking coffee, absorbing afternoon rainshowers, playing the guitar, conversing, and watching passersby.
