One of the fun things that we got to do while Len, Carol, Craig, Leah and Lena were here was take the bus tour of the city. We had been wanting to do that for awhile but had never gotten around to doing it. It is a double decker bus that takes a tour around the downtown area as well as near our neighborhood and a look from Turi which has a views of the whole city. The great thing about this tour is that you get a great view of the architectural buildings around the city as you get to sit on the top of the bus. It's a great view as you get to be right up close to the buildings. When your walking you get a bit of the view but it doesn't compare with almost being able to touch the carvings, feel the mosaic tiles and see the tops of the roofs. And then to top it all off, you get to take a break at the top of Turi and view the entire city from just one spot. It's pretty amazing and I would go everytime that someone comes to visit. Anyone planning a visit anytime soon? Hope so! And don't forget to bring a good camera so you can get all the beautiful shots of the buildings in Cuenca, but be careful not to get caught by the many wires that cross the path of the road or get smacked by the tree branches as we go by! Those are the only down sides of the bus tour. But let me tell you it's a great thing to look forward to when you come for a visit. Can't wait to go again!
