we are having a blast here in cuenca ecuador and in this week's video we're going to take you along
with us when we go to october mercado and we eat some hernado if you don't know what that is it's
some roasted pig we also go to the cathedral off of calron square which is in central franco
last but not least we take you along with us to the museum of modern art
which is definitely worth checking out and if you're new to this channel my
name is stephanie and this is slow travel chronicles so let's go check out cuenca
so garrett and i are walking around this morning and we came across what i believe is the october
mercado and if that's not right i'll put a correction in the link below and we were walking
through this um restaurant uh booth stall area and i tried a piece of the hernado and everybody
keeps saying try with an auto and it was good so she said one dollar so i thought i was getting a
plate of renato but instead for one dollar i have whatever this puff thing is which we haven't tried
harmony uh coronado and then they even she even snapped off some crackling pigskin
so we're about to try it um i'll go first
even though i kind of already tried i'm going to start with the dominate i think it's mommy
it's good it's not as good as bevernado
but um i don't think you're like the halloween
but we'll see so we just finished the oporonado that stephanie bought we tried it it was pretty
good walking out of mercado stephanie had to stop and get a drink so we went by a fruit stand
got a couple of these things we don't know what they taste like
they're pretty good we asked what fruit it was communication barrier
all we knew is it cost a dollar they put a big old spoon full of sugar in it so now we're drinking
our drinks being serenaded by some guy behind me singing something i have no idea what it is
so this is the outside of the basilica here in cuenca ecuador and it is located right off
calderon park which as you can see this is a hustling bustling area
lots of people we're here in the rainy season so it is a little overcast on most days but
we really enjoyed our visit here to the cathedral
so we are at the cathedral here in cuenca and i'm overlooking calderon park calderon park
and it's 180 steps to the top that's why i'm out of breath anyway we're halfway up wish me luck
so i made it to the top and that's the calderon park
and right now i'm standing on this very wobbly bleachers and i'm scared
so
uh so i found a different set of bleachers that aren't as wobbly it's still scary as
[ __ ] but i'm up here and there's a view from the top of the cathedral down to calderon park
so there's a little alleyway called santa ana or cala santa ana if you come down the
little alleyway there's this little courtyard that has all of these cute little restaurants
i think we came a little too early but we're gonna try to find a spot to have a beer
so
uh
so
it's a wall of faces
do
