Look out Amelia and JP there’s a new man in town. He’s kicking ass

Friendly people. They speak English very well at their restaurants. Don the go pro was a great idea. Just heard Earth, Wind and Fire back there. What a beautiful country. As always another great video 😊.

Love all your footage of Cuenca. The tranvia looks very clean and modern. It’s nice to know where to get change in Cuenca. The church was absolutely beautiful inside. You are doing a great job of showing us around. Can’t wait to be there!

Hello Don, I like your channel because you show the streets, the people in everyday life, keep it up!!!👍👍

look like The Terminator in those glasses . Glidden Paint! one of my favorites, Cool Train ride in Cuenca! Nice old Ford truck!

The next time you go by the Flower Market, go to the back corner and try the agua de pitimas. The nuns have been making it for over 300 years, said to be a cure-all for just about everything.

Very interesting installment. I’m sure we’ll make it to Cuenca at some point, but not this trip. We were going to Manta but decided to stay in Vilcabamba for the rest of this trip except for the last few days in Loja. But, we will be back; no choice in the matter. Enjoy your content!

Love your videos...makes me feel like in Living there. I've learned so much from you 🎉🎉. Awesome thanks 👍

Love this kinds of videos. Everyday's life.

Don, outstanding job !! looking forward to additional places that you frequent !!!

I liked taking the trip with you, Don. Sometimes it's tge little things - like how to know which bus, how do you pay for the ride, tipping at the restaurant, whether the streets are clean in the morning, how tge folks greet you on the street, etc. Well done.

Don, I would never argue with a gentleman of superior intellect as yourself. But I would say that truck is a 1971 Ford F100. And I agree a nice one

Beautiful church.

That was great. Really enjoyed. Very informative. Thanks!

BRAVO! I love the video, keep up the good job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Remarkably clean.

I LOVED THIS! You cracked me up, "He probably wants my autograph, I'm a KZfaqr!" "The pigeons followed me from Mesa." 😂 Thanks for the tips on where to find an ATM and no street signs. I'm a little late to the party but looking forward to the catching up!

The city is clean and accessible by commuter train .Fantastic and restaurants are plentiful. A slice of paradise. The church ⛪ is amazingly beautiful.

Don! Great to see you! You appear to be havin a wonderful time! Cuenca is such a beautiful place! You're gonna have a heck of time figuring out where to live now! Thanks for the video and thank you so very much for sharing!

Great information and video!!!

We were in your hood this morning. Had coffee at a lil shop across the river.

Great experience, thank you Don 😊

change machine - my favorite

Great video Don, its very interesting to see everyday life in Ecuador. Looking forward to see more videos like this thanks.

Seems you are in Cuenca …enjoy it 👍

Nice video! I was walking the same area in Nov. Missing it already.

Man I loved this video. I lived just a block or so from the sunrise restaurant across from the large white church. The restaurant has changed a lot but it's been 7 years. I'm coming back in October. Thank you.

Faith is all we have....

I love Don's videos...it's like you are right by his side!

It’s been a few years since I’ve been in Cuenca, but almost $10 for breakfast sounds pretty high to me, especially when I could get a nice lunch for $5. Love your channel and your humor, keep em coming 👍

Sunrise Cafe...Yakumama Bistro..and every little hole in the wall eatery in Cuenca has delicious breakfast w fresh pressed juices

Your intro cracks me up ever time! Rocka-chi-rocha....LOL. I think you're attempting to sing the song La Cucaracha (The Cockroach) if I'm not mistaken. Since you're living in a Spanish speaking country and have been there almost a year I highly recommend you take Spanish classes very soon. There are several online courses so there's no need to leave your apartment. The Spanish language has so many nuances, from correct pronunciation to the conjugating of verbs so it's understood to whom you are referring (como esta is asking "how he, she or it is which is what you keep asking; asking directly to someone "how are 'you'" is "como estas"). Knowing these things can be the difference in being understood when you speak, getting a blank stare or, as in your case, no reply when you spoke to the man on the street (the term for good morning is Buenos Dias, not Buenas Dias). And the Chocoteria...(phonetically pronounced cho-coh-teh-ree-ah with emphasis on ree).

loved it! 😊

Unique and spontaneus

Don, I love your videos! Thanks for making them. Your sense of humor makes my day! Btw, I would have asked for an autograph!! 😉

That breakfast seems expensive, compared to Baja Mexico. I've had breakfast for $2 USD

Thanks for your matter-of-fact view of a morning tour of Cuenca.

Hey Don, very good. Really enjoyed it. When I move there and if we meet I will definitely ask for your autograph!

When you get off the Tranvia, walk down the street that runs in front of the church. It goes by the park and there's a bunch of businesses, interesting buildings There's one where the entrance is tiled with cow vertebrae (left side just passed the park)

Beautiful

Excellent video it captures the indigenous building and churches and was a sincere travelogue I enjoyed it and the transit system is just like the gold line in southern california transporting from pasadena to los Angeles quickly loved how you caught the friendly people and those character some I tubers are egocentric but you look outward towards buildings community and personalities I will always watch you

Don, Loved the snappy camera equipment.

Always a good laugh to be found up in Don's space. Another enjoyable video, thank you. BTW, there are quite a few versions of the Gopro listed on Amazon for $40 or so dollars. I was thinking of getting one next time I'm back in the US.

When I visited Cuenca last Dec. wearing a mask and high altitude I was running out of breath.

When I was butter bar Air Force officer at Johnson Space Center, a boy asked me for my autograph. I was in uniform so may he assumed I was an astronaut. When I told him I wasn't, he asked "Do you work here?". I said yes and he shoved something at me to sign. My first (and last) autograph.

I like you! At the end of your videos I’m always left with a smile. Have a good day

Very nice, BTW You're a famous youtuber :-) looking pretty cool with those shades.

Another nice video.

Stayed in cuenca for a month, really like Turi, Cathdrals and thermales at Banos. Like your video.

At 14:00 you wee walking south on Padre Aguirre.

hey Don can you show your Air BNB and share the cost with us, thanks!

Hi Don , don't know if you already touch this subject but one good thing about being retired over 65 here is that you have special law for third age people, lines in supermarket, banks, and discounts on power and water and other expenses . Not sure if discounts apply to foreigners but sure worth finding out. Bests

Please where, neighborhood are you living in Manta? I am from Brasil and my partner is from UK. We are living in Cuenca but we cannot stay…Breathe problems… who are in Manta but I find the real state here to rent much higher them Cuenca…Anyway I love yours videos,to me you are the best…it is very nice to meet you My mais house is in Tampa Florida…

Either the GoPro or your editing program did a fantastic job stabilizing the video. 👍🏻

Well it wasn’t as pretty as the last one except for the Cathedral! But we do want to see all of it. The good the bad the ugly lol. Glad to see you’re walking it’s good for you! If it wasn’t for those damn pigeons that you brought with you!

You’re walking more in a day than the average American walks in a week there! :)

Don, what a wonderful video! We were so impressed at the very sleek, modern, CLEAN trains. Will you be showing the place where you are staying? Is it an AirBnB apartment? The area we see you going out to the street is lovely! And it DOES remind us of here in Austin, TX!!!

Very nice video Don. I'm wondering have you ever been to Mexico before and visited Mexico City or Cuernavaca where I am at? It's very nice here, the climate and the people.

Seems better than the Philippines. I wonder how it ranks compared to the Philippines for expat retirement and living.

Hola Señor Shader... I love your true videos! I mean you say it the way it is! I’m from Ecuador from the coast region but left when l was 19. Got married to a German and end up living in USA! It’s an interesting place but completely different culture and many dangerous things believe me... very scary! I had my three American children who got married and have their own families. My son a veteran from Irak ( problems :( ) anyway please try to lear Spanish! Believe me it is easier than learning English!

The altitude does take some getting used to. I have been in the Andes exclusively since I got here in November, and even though I am accustomed to 3000m altitude, riding up to 4000 is still a huff-and-puff endeavour! I am in Baños this weekend, on my way to Cuenca. I don’t do breakfast, but I am sure we can do dinner someplace nice. Cheers!

"I don't know what to think when it comes to belief in God and faith ... the way I think about it is that if it's not true, we won't know it -- so I'm going to stick with the faith. That may not be the right reason, but it's all i got." Well said.

I don't recall seeing any videos of this walking around type in Manta? Should we take that as an indication of one city being more inspiring than the other? Are you going to do a side trip to Loja?? I'm really interested in that city but few decent videos there.

Great video without any promotions! How was your cafe Americano? and did they have free refills?

Your GoPro body mount works great. Very stable.

omg.You live in a high rise? lol..I just got a nose bleed...That Church is amazing..I would love to go there

You sure got a long way to go to breakfast.

Hello Don, how are you? Manta? or another city, I was in Manta 3 years ago, don’t recall this…..or you are in Cuenca? Saludos …enjoy it 😀

Have you ever considered living in Centro? If no, may I ask why?

How early were you there? No other people while you walked down??

wow breakfast aint cheap.

Nice camera.

The streets there are very clean! Not so in Stafford Va.

I’m curious if they don’t have street signs how would you know where to go as a newcomer? Thanks for you content! 🙂

How far did you travel for breakfast?

hi don what is your rent there for just the one month thanks keep up the good work

How’s the soundproofing in the Airbnb?

Ohh what we having Don? Flapjacks with jam?

Is there seniors discount for the tram

Not crowded at all Not even stray dogs

9.75 for a breakfast??? I've been told that you just need to spend 3-5 dollars for a meal there ！！！

Hello. What about u FAMILY..???.🇪🇨

I think it took 145 years to build????

We get a Grand Slam in Dennis which is pancakes, sausage, eggs for $7,99 and they have a lower price for seniors in Miami, for Ecuador $9.75 for breakfast is too much, I know Cuenca has Americans visitors and residents but locally salaries are very low compare to US.

What's with the pigeon dissing ?

the ford f150 ia 1969

No such thing as give way to pedestrian

I wear my mask under my nose as much as I can. I need my oxygen, we all do and they do not help any anyways! They even slow suffocating little kids in EC, horrible! How unpleasant it is for them, since 2 years old ?!
