To my great surprise, when casually walking around the Merc
ado de Otavalo several weekends ago, we ran into the US Ambassador to Ecuador, Linda Jewell. A woman of about 40-50 years, relatively petit and with short reddish hair, she was bargaining amiably at a stall, fingering a piece of jewelry. http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/biog/51029.htm)
Of course, I never would have known who she was if Bárbara and Santiago hadn’t pointed her out to me. Apparently, a good number of Ecuadorians know who the US Ambassador is, in addition to knowing exactly where the US Embassy is located in Quito (on the corner of Jorge Washington and Ave. 12 de Octubre across from la Universidad Católica).
Question: What are the three largest Ecuadorian cities by population?
Answer: Guayaquil, Quito and New York.
