Susan,  Is the cell service there the same as in the US?  I thought I had read where you can only call another cell and not a landline phone. True?   And can you recommend a store where a cellphone can be purchased it Quito? Preferably not too far from conference site. thanks

So is the problem with the house’s plumbing system, or the municipal sanitary sewer system that disallows flushing the TP in a building/house?  The processing plant can handle it OK?

Having lived in Brazil, I can only base my comment on that experience which may be different than what one might find in Ecuador. If I was only going to visit for a short time, I would drink bottled water just to eliminate the chance of gastric distress. If I was going to be living in such a country, then I would drink bottled water in the beginning and then gradually add tap water over a period of a month or so to give my system a chance to adjust to the changing chemical makeup of the water supply. I also would have a water testing meter to use occasionally for my local water supply in the house.

Ed, a friend in Cuenca emailed me a name,,,Manantial Hostel,,, her description sounded good. We’re going to be in Cuenca for 3 nights (3rd,4th and 5th) prior to the conference in Quito. The price she quoted is much less than most hotels I found on Booking.com . If you know of any negatives regarding this location, I’d appreciate hearing them. Thanks, Bobby
