Thank you for your comment - and, Oh, ...Hi Patrice,<br />Thank you for your comment - and, Oh, how I loved visiting the coast and Florence when we lived in Oregon! As for my asthma, I no longer suffer seasonal allergies. I do not take any allergy medications nor do I use an inhaler anymore. My rough times are when I get the flu or a bad cold here and it travels to my lungs. Then my asthma, or should I say lung issues happen. That only happens a couple times a year, if that. Leaving Oregon was a good decision in that alone after suffering 40 years in the "Valley of Sickness" as the Willamette Valley was named. <br /><br />As for the bus fumes - living in an apartment on a bus route for two years was not the best choice because the fumes and dust are tremendous - but we have moved AGAIN - and are now settled into a beautiful apartment for the past month, on the east side of the Historic District and only one bus passes our street, and not that often. I have since bought some powerful air ionizers also, and that has kept our apartment(s) circulating clean air. <br /><br />So, all this to say, there are ways to overcome asthma and have better health. For me, it was leaving Oregon. the altitude does not affect me like it does some people. I hope this helps, Patrice, and perhaps you might visit Cuenca again and stay awhile to see if it agrees with your health. We came to Cuenca without an exploratory visit and have been here over two years.<br /><br />Stay in touch, and best to you in your future decisions for the best place to live.<br />Should you come visit, contact me so we can meet.<br />LindaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03218571411311922097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831951504205975496.post-51082326738199195732015-05-07T12:18:56.860-07:002015-05-07T12:18:56.860-07:00Hi Linda,

We've never totally stopped thinking about Cuenca and it is once again moving up on our list. One thing that has concerned me is that, like you, I have asthma. I know you had a rough time of it for awhile but seem to be doing fine now. Does the bus fumes give you grief? I hear it's pretty polluted. Is that not really a problem for you. I take Qvar 2x twice a day and it's freed me from my rescue inhaler so I'm wondering if that's something you use and is it enough. <br />Thank you for all the help you offer so many people. It's a big decision and you are a wonderful guide in the process.<br />Cheers,<br />Patrice & Stephen Patricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06667607050901501551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831951504205975496.post-50894656414813288522015-01-25T15:49:45.494-08:002015-01-25T15:49:45.494-08:00Hi Juanita,
Glad you enjoyed the youtube links to ...Hi Juanita,<br />Glad you enjoyed the youtube links to Geoffrey Castle's violin music. He was quite the entertainer here in little ol' Cuenca, and we hope he will return again one day. <br /><br />You must be excited as each day brings you closer to your move to the beautiful City. There are many single females here who have left it all behind to make Ecuador their home - especially in Cuenca. Yes, Juanita, I go shopping and out alone when I'm not with Bo or friends. I don't go out alone in the later dark hours EVER. No need to for me. I mostly enjoy going shopping with my girlfriends here, though. I imagine you ask as far as feeling safe in this city. I do feel safe - but I walk in wisdom and am always aware of my surroundings. You will be just fine - and you will also make many friends who you will go out with often. That's what I think, anyway.....<br />Stay in touch and one day we will meet.<br />LindaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03218571411311922097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831951504205975496.post-70644511734858737612015-01-24T13:03:14.226-08:002015-01-24T13:03:14.226-08:00And A Good Time Was Had by All

I had never <br />heard of him - but I very much enjoyed. <br /> <br />As I've said in previous comments, I'll be moving to Ecuador later this year (a single female). Question - Linda, do you go shopping, etc alone or do you always go with Bo or some friends?<br /> <br />Have A Great Day!<br />Juanita Juanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551580798728040693noreply@blogger.com
