Solo's, affluent couples, young Ramen travelers, back packers, and, of course, edgy old dudes, seeking the Ecuadorian Knowledge.
Friday there's a cooking event where they are instructing the finer points of cuy. We get to grill, fry, and eat it. Herman asked if I wanted to participate. My one word answer was “no”. Herman smiled, looked furtively around and whispered in perfect English “I don't blame you”.
