El Colgado

I've been fighting off a cold for a couple of days so my enthusiasm for walking around the city has been tempered.  But it is a warm, semi-overcast Wednesday and we are getting a little bored hanging around the apartment.  It seems the perfect day to take a slow stroll along Rio Tomebama then have a late lunch.

We stop at the Pharmacy next to Gran Columbia Suites and show the clerk the empty package of Vitamin C and Zinc fizzy tablets which William used to fight his cold upon our arrival and I've now finished off.  I'm not sure if they're helping, but I'm sure they're not hurting.  I get another opportunity to use my limited Spanish vocabulary to request something similar and it works out just fine (with the prop of the empty package).  😊

Then we are off toward the river and lunch.  We walk down 88 stairs from El Centro to the walkway along the river.  The first restaurant we come to is closed, they are probably enjoying a holiday after the busy days of the festival.  We continue westward and come across El Colgado. In addition to the dining area inside and on a covered porch up a flight of stairs they have umbrella tables setup on a platform right next to the river.  We decide to grab a table by the river.

I order the cazuela pescado, which is a casserole of trout and salmon in a light cream and vegetable broth.  It's very flavorful and has a little bit of diced jalapeño, which helps me with my cold.  William orders sancocho cerdo, which is marinated then roasted pork served with small potatoes and a salad.  Both of us thoroughly enjoy our meal. ​
