We are hoping to visit <br />Ecuador next fall - approx. a year from now the adventure begins! We are a little confused about the visas - do you pay once or every year? Can we get a residency visa with out Canada Pension- we can't get it for 10 years. I read and love your blog!irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04416408950275759490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8305605325493490323.post-46001875785540031602010-09-22T19:51:21.675-07:002010-09-22T19:51:21.675-07:00Mary, I thought the same thing, but alas my hubby ...Mary, I thought the same thing, but alas my hubby brought home a duvet comforter instead! ;-)<br /><br />Miguel, thank you for your kind thoughts. As you know, Cuenca is the cultural capital of Cuenca where art abounds in all forms! I'm amazed--shocked really--at all the possibilities here. Your gift of photography will be a welcomed gift. There are many venues for you to display your art and your talents in Cuenca. <br /><br />Un abrazo fuerte!Connie Pombohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11897266570990786617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8305605325493490323.post-58432852127237688092010-09-22T19:02:50.306-07:002010-09-22T19:02:50.306-07:00Hello Connie.

You are an excellent writer and have a wonderful ability to speak from your heart. I am considering the possibility of moving to Cuenca and have learned a lot from your blogs. I practice sculpture, fine-art photography and digital imaging and would love to get your impressions regarding the vitality of the art scene in Cuenca. Un saludo cordial.

Every day here is an adventure...(and now an excuse to buy a pair of shoes!). Yippee! We'll have to meet for coffee; let me know what works for you.

You are so lucky too that you have small feet. You can add to your shoe stash from the wonderful shoe stores here... expecially if you like those spikey heeled shoes! Me, I have massive feet.
