Cuenca

No cause of death was announced.

A frightening scene in South America, a small plane carrying money and valuables for Ecuador's central bank overshot a runway and crashed onto a road right there in the city of Cuenca yesterday.

Investigators say the Cessna turboprop was going too fast as it landed.

Both people on board suffered only minor injuries.

Here the greater part of the population of Ecuador is concentrated.

There stands Quito, the capital of the country, and other important towns like Cuenca, Riobamba, Abanto, Ibarra, and others.

Here also are the great farms called haciendas, often as large as an English county, upon which are pastured three or four thousand head of cattle and fifteen or twenty thousand sheep.

When we leave this high ground and descend the slopes of the Andes towards the east, we come to the immense plain called the Napo, full of virgin forests and inhabited by two hundred thousand savage Indians.

To understand, however, what induced him to come forward, we will give a rapid sketch of the state of Ecuador from 1830 to 1845, that is, from its constitution as an independent state to the first political revolution in which Garcia Marino took part.

End of Volume 3, Chapter 3 Part 1, Chapter 4 of Garcia Marino by Augustine Birth This LibriVox recording is in the public domain, recording by Maria Therese Flores, 1830-1845 We have described in our preface the birth of the Republic of Ecuador out of the dismemberment of Bolivar's ephemeral creation of the state of Colombia.

In the name of the sovereign people, the deputies of Quito, Guayaquil, and Cuenca framed a constitution in hot haste, giving universal suffrage one chamber a president elected every four years, and the naturalization of all strangers, whether civil or military.

The new president was General Juan Jose Flores, a native of Venezuela, who for a long time had been the military chief of the country and one of Bolivar's best officers.

Well, you obviously learned that Ecuador is at the equator and that's why it's so hot.

Yeah, but I lived in Cuenca, like in the mountains.

The weather was perfection.

For me, just like, mid spring weather throughout the year.

I think that's a really smart way of navigating these difficult situations and a good lesson that people hopefully are listening to.

By the way, many people are saying how much they love your voice and that you're like a bestie they never had.

And somebody did ask where in Ecuador, which was Chueca, not Chueca, but Cuenca.

Cuenca.
