I have a new quest: It is now my goal to find a comfortable chair in Ecuador!
During the four years I have been coming to Cuenca, I don’t believe that I have yet to find a chair that would be comfortable for an extended period of time. “Kitchen” chairs have very straight backs and offer little, or no, support. What we would call a “living room” chair is not much better. The depth of the seats is uncomfortable, and the backs are either very short or overly padded. I find that my back gets stiff after only short periods of sitting in these chairs.
It is a pretty sad statement when you find yourself lingering in the banos because that is the most comfortable seat in the house!
