Apartment hunting

Today was mostly spent in apartment hunting, and we have some promising leads, but no apartment yet. For our first day, that's not too bad, and if we don't find one tomorrow, we will ask around at church on Sunday.

This evening we went to a gathering of expats here in Cuenca, where there were probably 20-25 people there total, although not all at once. We spent most of our time talking to just a few of them, and have some possible leads to an apartment from that, as well as others we talked to earlier in the day. The one we talked to longest is named Perry, and he has lived here in Cuenca for 17 months. He explored several other places in Central and South America, and decided that this was the one he likes the best. It is also possible that we may rent an apartment through him, but we can't follow up on that one until Monday, so we may not be in the market by then.

We also had a thunderstorm this afternoon that kept us in for a while, but which delivered welcome moisture. There are several individuals and/or families here who are leaving tomorrow, so it is likely that more will be arriving.
