Valentine’s Day Cuenca Ecuador 2019 + Aphrodisiac Dinner at Café Libre (Episode 68) (2/16/2019) - Happy Valentine's Day Cuenca Ecuador 2019!!!
Our friends Jimmy and Sharon who recently moved to Cuenca from the US requested a Valentine's Day video and we were happy to oblige.
I was going to make it a surprise, but I decided against it because that's not really who we are. We're very practical people and I would rather have Amelia pick out her favorite flowers and chocolates instead of trying to guess what she wants. And she chose flowers and chocolates that I would have never bought, so everything worked out.
We also had a very special Valentine's Day Dinner at Café Libre in Cuenca. This was an experience we'll remember for the rest of our lives!
