    Yo...still in states ? Boiling hot next 4 days...UP MI=105 Monday. Obscene! Waiting here on papers..... Q: how hard was it to find your place ? Happy 'hood'? Good walking routes ? Safe? (I'm single...think a bit different!) Excited to 'land'.

      That's sweltering...too hot for me...isn't that unheard of in MI. We found our place in less than a week. I think we were in the right spot at the right time. Love the neighborhood and this place is filled with great walking areas. There are A LOT of single ladies here. I think you'll be fine.

    What a fun market! So much cool stuff, but i especially was impressed with the furniture. It looks so well made.( Wish you would have asked the prices. I'm sure it's much cheaper than the stuff you get here in the US. ) I would be broke in just a couple of hours with all the goodies! LOL!

      I have some friends that have bought furniture there. They had a huge table made...it is gorgeous and it was 60.00 I believe.

    Been enjoying the last month here in Cuenca. Thanks for all the recommendations. Weʻre going to go and check out this market today (it was just recommended to us yesterday too, coincidentally) to grab some nicknacks for folks back in the US.
    I kept expecting to see you guys randomly walking around the streets, but no luck. Hopefully weʻll bump into you guys next time weʻre in town.

    Wow, what a fantastic market. I'd lose my mind trying to keep to a budget with all those fun as well as practical items. I think the healing ladies are fantastic from what I've seen about them before with Grandmother, mother and daughter so the knowledge gets passed down through the generations instead of being lost through modern medical usage!

    So I’m super curious…about 22 minutes into the video you quickly got away from an area because of a popular song that was being sung? What’s up with that? Just sick of hearing it lol or was it something more negative than that?

      Hey! Glad you're enjoying our videos. About the song, You can't play copyrighted music on your TH-cam videos otherwise TH-cam will demonetize your video because you do not own the rights to those songs to play them on TH-cam. So if there is a song like that playing in the background to long Our video will get demonetized even if we did not intentionally place that song on the video. That's why we can't use a lot of our audio when we're in restaurants and certain places like that that play a lot of mainstream music.
