Why am I interested in Cuenca?
by Steven
(Atlanta, GA, USA)
I grew up in South Texas in the 60's and 70's when being a Texan meant you had more in common with the hispanic community than someone from the north (Dallas).
My children and I spent some of our happiest years living on Terceirra Island in the Azores during the 90's, and we spent most of our time with the Portuguese, and I even earned the nickname from my fellow American service members of "Local National."
I want to slow down, enjoy my life, and share more of my life with my wife and youngest son. I want to sip coffee, read a local newspaper, and be part of a community that enjoys family first, and what you do for a living is more of a necessity, and not who you are as a person.
If Cuenca is that place for us, then we will be lucky, but if not, we will keep searching. Hope to see it all soon in person.

I just want to thank you both soooo much for creating this web site. I am originally from Cuenca but moved to New York 11 years ago and have not being back since. My husband and I are planning on visiting Cuenca over the Summer and this web site has helped me a lot.
When I came to the US we still had the "sucre," the bus ride cost 1,000 sucres and a pack of trident gum would cost 3,000 sucres. I am very nervous to go back, but thanks to your web site I now know what to expect.
My husband is American and Captivating Cuenca has taught him a lot about what my great city has to offer, things that I had forgotten about myself! :)
Thank You both so much! I cannot wait to visit Cuenca!!
