- Got some gifts for friends and family back in the States. The prices were very reasonable. We got a boat load for around $20 usd. #streetmarket #shopping #cuenca #ecuador #expats #explore #travel #food #adventure #ericandsandy

I love The Rotary. Huge variety plus the furniture makers in the back make it a really cool place to check out.
We agree! It's one of my favorite places.
So awesome to see!! Love the baskets! Can't wait to visit Ecuador next Spring!
Thank you... hope your visit is everything you hoped for ❤ and safe travels
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.
That's Amazing! A solid wood table here would certainly cost more than 10 X that amount!
Yes it wood...no pun intended. What am I saying...yes...if I can make a pun, I'm going for it🤣😍😂
Friend brought Rosewood - long... from Ecuador back t o MI. It cracked open thru middle.
Wow, this is a cool market...a place I can spend hours - just watching..
Thank so much for sharing 💕💓💕🤗
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching🤩🤩
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! Thank you for the video and safe travels.
I love that a lot of trades get handed down. It's a beautiful thing to see. Believe you me...I wanted to spend a lot more than I did. 😆 thank you for watching and all of your support.. have a wonderful day.
Awesome video! Street markets are very popular in Cuenca I love to see the military guys around, they are appreciated and respected in Ecuador.
Thank you... we love the street markets... so much better than a mall. We always thank them when we see them around. Thanks for watching. 💕
Same in the states
Loved you guys showing us around this market. I don’t remember seeing it. Is it always there or was it a special event? Looks like they had a ton of useful and fun stuff. I’ll definitely check this out when I get there. You guys always do a great job of showcasing all the great things that Cuenca has to offer. Thanks so much!
This market is always there... it's in El centro but closer to the airport. I believe I have the cross streets.. thank you so much. Can't wait for you to get here. Have a great day and thanks again for watching.
Fantastic like always...!!
Thank you so much 😀. Have a great day and thank you again for all your support
Fun! Love the Cuenca markets! We had to purchase a cheap suitcase while there to bring all our trinkets home. 🤗
We've done that before. Buying an extra suitcase to bring goodies back. We love all the open markets here.
thanks for another great video. I was in Cuenca about 4 years ago and didn't see this market. It looks fantastic. I love Cuenca and hope to return soon.
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching
Sandy made it clear that the fan can also be a weapon! Behave yourself! 😅 That market is muy grande! Thanks guys.❤
Yes!!!! Back up, I know how to use this fan....I'm an expert 🤣🤣🤣
ha ha ha ha, you are very funny !!!! 🙂
I'm just trying to keep up with you. 😆😆
@@ericandsandy I look in the mirror every morning and say the same thing !!!! ha ha
Hey you two cuties!!!!! I liked the backpack (at beginning w 'ethnic'textile cloth. Please do another LATAM educational segment in your videos 🙂
Hey 👋.. those backpacks were so cute. How much longer until you're here?
@@ericandsandy paperwork submitted tomorrow, Mon. stay tuned. Been a ride!!!! 🙂 lesson in patience. good lesson🙂
I used to have a TON of that...I keep looking for it lately...I think I misplaced it somewhere 🤔 😅
@@ericandsandy **Well, if you are waning on patience you arent eatting enough TACOS!!!!!! :-)
Thanks for another great video!
Glad you like them! Thanks again for all your support
thank you that was awesome
You're welcome! Glad you liked it
i would eat that weather up
It's perfect
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.
Hope you enjoyed the market as much as we did. I definitely could have bought a lot more..😆😆. Next time you're in Cuenca send us a message...maybe we can meet up then. Safe travels back home. Thanks for all of your support.
Hey, Mark. How do you rate, feel about Cuenca vs Quito ?
zippered coin purse in 'ethnic material '.....a few EC coins inside ; (I use them) ... bid baskets: w handle for farmers market, knitting projects...., any hand woven belts ? Where those socks for coffee? have stand to hold sock ? Sandy, round one is a tortilla basket. You bring just baked tortillas home in your basket. Thanks, loved going to market with you two.
Thanks for watching Barb. I wanted to get everything....but Eric only gave me 25.00 to use. 😅😢😂
@@ericandsandy Well, girlfriend, when I get down there, I'll slip you some small bills :-) weeee....shhhhh
Hahahaha
The prices are really good.
Yes they were. Amazing market
Great video!! It was so funny when you handed the camera to Sandy!! 😂😂😂😂 This video kept me company while waiting in the airport! 😁👍
Hahahaha... I get too distracted when I'm shopping. Too many things to look at.😆 Glad you flight was good and you guys made it safe. Enjoy your trip..see you soon
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
What a fun market. I've walked that area but never ran into it. I love the black pottery and now I know where to get light furniture. Spotted some gift ideas for my next trip. Hope you're back by Nov. I'd like to buy you lunch. Eric too I suppose. lol
I love that market. So many great ideas for gifts. The pottery and the baskets are my favorite. November is a definite!!
He said those wooden shot glasses could be engraved with a name if you’d like
Now I'm going to have to go back...I only understand some things now.. at least it's better than nothing, like before. 😁 Hope your having a great day. I stopped by Good Affinity ... didn't know if you were there... stayed until closing.. no Amsterdam Bear 😢
@@ericandsandy Amsterdambear has been busy putting this place together. Haven’t had much time to even watch CZcams videos. I’ll be back to normal soon I hope.
I understand. I will let you know when I go back to Good Affinity ..a day or two advance 👍. Maybe we can meet up then.
@@ericandsandy of course, it can be somewhere else too. I really don’t know many restaurants in town. You’re the experts on that!
INFO: warnings airports, use hardsided luggage. Expediting processing some softsided luggage is being CUT to inspect. fyi. Excited to hear your LATAM lessons. Safe travels.
Thanks for the info!
Thank you
What? Ecuador airport security is cutting into checked soft sided luggage? Perhaps TSA locks weren''t used? Please clarify
@@sweetart9905 its a US heads up. Recommending using hardside luggage.
Eric and sandy are flying from EC to US, family vacation. Its a heads up for them for packing.
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'.
Yo.= barb - on goofy new cell...
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.
@@ericandsandy sign in window ? Friend referral ? AD? ( CAN YOU TELL IM WORRIED ABOUT FINDING A PLACE. ) OOps...caps...
It's Sid the sloth. I mean, Seth is nice too. ;-)
For me it is Seth the Sloth from now on.
Thanks for the correction 😁...I was close.. it started with an S.😂
😂😂😂
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?
I really love your videos. I especially like that you’re not rushing through things you’re showing us the details. It’s like being there. Love it. Keep them coming!!
Hey! Glad you're enjoying our videos. About the song, You can't play copyrighted music on your CZcams videos otherwise CZcams will demonetize your video because you do not own the rights to those songs to play them on CZcams. 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.
Plaese don't let this vendors take advantage of you guys tell them esta muy caro
😁😁😁. That was one of the first phrases we learned...muy caro. We've seen those magnets as high as 5.00. Thank you and thank you for your support.
