No, NO, NO!!! I lived in Ecuador for three years and the name of the country is absolutely not spelled with a Q. There is no Quechua spoken here--in Ecuador it is called QUICHUA and the casual traveler or foreign retiree is highly unlikely to come into contact with this or any of the other indigenous languages of the region. Also, Ecuador is certainly not better economically developed than Peru or Colombia. This article contains MANY factual errors.

Offering to run to the library/bookstore/video store/hobby store is a great idea. When I was recovering from my brain aneurysm, I couldn't have appreciated anything more than someone bringing me things from the library. I just put books on reserve and then had people pick them up with my library card at the front desk.
