Cuenca, southern Ecuador

Since this past weekend was a double-holiday (Day of the dead and Cuenca's Independence Day), I went to Cuenca with Meagan, Sarah and Katie. Here are some highlights:



Who doesn't love a pristine, Colonial City? In front of Catedral Nueva.



A little too pristine - beauty contest winners of the "Virgin of Mirador"
...way to give teenage girls a complex, eh?




Jesus Christ, Superstar. Iglesia San Blas.
(Some churches seem to be victims of "When Trading Spaces Goes Bad")




Happy Independence, Cuenca! Let's set off fireworks dangerously close to old buildings.



"Día de los difuntos" / Day of the Dead Altar.

I really did enjoy Cuenca- it was a beautiful, peaceful city. I think I'm just a bit bitter because I got a bit of food poisoning this weekend. No worries, by Tuesday it was all gone.
