FOOD FOR A DAY in CUENCA ECUADOR (cost of food) (5/12/2022) - This video shows a typical travel day for us. We usually eat breakfast and dinner at our Airbnb, and we eat lunch out at a restaurant. 
Life Must Go On – Short Tour of Tia Grocery Store in Montañita Ecuador during a Coronavirus Pandemic (3/14/2020) - We filmed this yesterday in Olón and Montañita Ecuador as we went about our normal daily lives during the Coronavirus pandemic. A lot has happened since then, including Ecuador closing its borders. We'll share an update video on the Coronavirus in Ecuador tomorrow. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy this little distraction.
Sunny Sunday In Cuenca Ecuador (Episode 138) (9/7/2019) - After a long winter season of clouds, cold and rain, we're finally seeing the transition back to summer. We thoroughly enjoyed our sunny Sunday in Cuenca Ecuador meeting some of our YouTube subscribers from around the world, walking Daisy along the river, going to the mercado and the world famous Cuenca flower market, and relaxing with a delicious glass of fresh juice. What an amazing city this is!
Cuenca Ecuador Yanuncay River Walk // Day In The Life (Episode 107) (5/21/2019) - We're back to business as usual here in Cuenca, Ecuador after are 4 week trip to Miami, Amsterdam, India and back.

Apartamentos Otorongo Tour – Flashback Day In The Life in Cuenca Ecuador (Episode 81) (3/19/2019) - This is a flashback day in our life. When we first moved here and stayed at Apartamentos Otorongo, we had a daily routine that included fresh fruits & veggies, and fresh baked bread...
Cuenca Ecuador Rotary: Mercado de Artesanías Rotary (Episode 60) (1/29/2019) - While Amelia's back in the States, I filmed the Cuenca Ecuador Rotary: Mercado de Artesanias Rotary. It's usually just called "the rotary" by the gringos and it's located at Vargas Machuca y Gaspar Sangurima just one block East of Mercado 9 de Octubre.
The Rotary has lots of mostly indigenous vendors selling furniture, metalwork, hand-woven baskets, pottery, kitchen utensils, clothes, bags, rugs, souvenirs, etc. It's a great place to find unique gifts for your loved ones, or obscure items for yourself....
Delicious Treats at Zatua Miski Cuenca Ecuador – A Day In Our Life (Episode 46) (12/27/2018) - We walked right by Zatua Miski Cuenca Ecuador on our way home and couldn't resist stopping by for some delicious treats. But before we went there, we made a few other stops on this day in the life.
One of the things we love about living in Cuenca is running errands on the weekends. Instead of hopping in a car, driving through traffic and fighting for a parking space, we simply put on our walking shoes and head out to front gate. It's common for us to log nearly 20,000 steps (that's about 8 miles) on Saturday and/or Sunday!
Cuenca Ecuador Mercado Food Cost & Prep (Episode 33) (11/29/2018) - Every Thursday morning, we head to Mercado 27 de Febrero near our house in Cuenca Ecuador to get our fresh (mostly) organic fruits and veggies. This video shows one of our typical fruit and veggie hauls; this one cost us $19.
Cuenca Ecuador Supermarket – Supermaxi El Vergel (Episode 11) (10/10/2018) - This morning, we visited Supermaxi El Vergel to get some of our staple supplies like soy milk, mushrooms, apple cider vinegar, crackers, wine, etc. We also buy trash bags, laundry detergent, canned goods, spices, tofu, condiments and other packaged items there.
We typically buy all of our fruits and veggies at the mercado, but the mercados don't carry everything and we really like Supermaxi El Vergel. It's clean, reasonably priced and feels like a Safeway or Kroger back in the states. Oh, and the people who work there are all really nice and helpful.
We hope you enjoy this tour of Supermaxi El Vergel. We've also included some Spanish language learning opportunities for you....
Mercado 27 de Febrero Organic Thursday Market in Cuenca Ecuador (Episode 3) (9/24/2018) - On most Thursday mornings, you can find us at the organic popup market outside Mercado 27 de Febrero in Cuenca Ecuador. It's a short 10 minute walk from our house so it's very convenient.
We're not 100% sure everything is truly organic, but everything is 100% beautiful and delicious. And since the prices are so reasonable, we figure it's worth it, regardless....
