Oops!! I meant CUENCA!! That’s what I get for posting when I have been up all night! We are interested in any place that is not terribly humid nor at too high an altitude (Quito is a bit too high) as my husband suffers from asthma and mild copd so he needs an oxygen-rich area. Also, we need someplace relatively flat so he can get around in the wheelchair, but are not particularly interested in living right on the coast. We would prefer to be at least 500ft above sea level, 1000 would be better. We love the ocean but not tsunamis or rising sea levels and believe me, living in Alaska, we SEE the effects of global warming! It is very evident here that the Arctic ice is melting at a frightening pace!! Sorry for the goof up and thank you in advance for any assistance. If my subscription runs out here before I get any responses, please look me up on Facebook. I would be thrilled to communicate with anyone who knows about our first 2 choices, Ecuador and Panama in that order, or anywhere you think might fit our needs. Thanks, Gayle Arledge
