Great content! Gracia Senor! I was in Otavalo in 1976 for 2-3 months. I didn't have much dinero then, but I could have afforded to rent a small room made out of clay just to sleep. I rented it from a local private person. At the time, the currency was Sucres, and I paid about $4 US monthly (I can't remember the exchange at the time). I'd take a shower in the public showers and eat out at the cheapest local food shops. I survived with about $1 US for food daily. I remember I bought a bunch of green bananas from a farmer and keep it covered in my room to get ripe and I'd eat it with bread. Doing the math, I survived my stay with less than $50 US total (a little room, food, showers, and once in a while, a beer). Lovely and beautiful memories! Today (48 years later), what I did in 1976 for about $50 US (very basic) monthly would cost me about less than $400 US, which is very basic, but maybe a little more luxurious based on what I am hearing. Thanks again, Senor💖

I made time to watch this tonight. What a great story. I hope you'll share the rest on this channel. My parents passed away when they were just in their 50s and i wish i had been able to interview them like this.

Muchas gracias señor Gonzalo por contarnos su bella historia. Mi papá y yo también nos ponemos a contar de los tiempos de antes Es triste que esos tiempos tan puros y tan orgánicos es parte de nuestras historias y más que uno quiera nunca regresarán. En estos tiempos ya es bien difícil vivir tranquilo con estos tiempos tan difíciles de manejar lo único que nos queda es ser buenas personas mantenerse positivo estar aparte del mal estar juntos a nuestros familiares y tener una fuerte fe en Dios por qué él nos guía en todo mucho gusto escucharlo señor Gonzalo ha sido un placer! Mis respetos 🙏

Que linda historia, a veces me acuerdo de mi niñez en Quito. Después de tantos años no lo voy a reconocer.
