After 2 1/2 years living in south America Katie and I are moving to New Orleans. Living in Cuenca Ecuador we learned so much about life, humanity, consciousness and improved our Spanish language skills. We made life-long friends there with amazing people and we owned and operated our own nightclub. The Ecuadorian people are the sweetest most guileless people I've ever known.
