Count yourself as unlucky if you get run over by a taxi while sitting in a restaurant in Cuenca.
L´ Esquina means ´the corner´ and the eatery of the same name was at the junction of Brother Michael and Largo.
There was a large window at the apex of the corner that caught the sun for most of the day.
Perhaps it was there because too many cars had collided with the restaurant as they came around the corner. Perhaps it gave restaurant a nice window to seat their guests.
Either way, we sat in the alcove, leaning against the giant window pane and watching the Cuenca world go by while consuming anything that seemed appropriate for the time of day.
We spent quite some time there.
It did occur to me that the traffic coming down Largo might want to turn left onto Miguel but I was confident that however reckless Ecuadorian drivers may be, they would at least have the courtesy to stick to the road while they did it.
Perhaps it was the slippery cobbles.
Perhaps he was just going too fast.
I´ll leave the rest to your imagination.
