About Me

Cuenca, Azuay, Ecuador
We are from Connecticut originally and have most recently lived in North Carolina, USA. We are starting a new life in South America so our retirement $'s will go farther toward a new way of life and a new adventure.Prior to June of 2010 we never thought a move such as this would be possible or advantageous for us. And, that is why we call this blog "Retirement: Plan B" We intend to see and do as much as possible in our retirement. Spend quality time with family, friends and each other.

Dinner and some culture



Last night was a first for us here in Cuenca. We went out for dinner with friends. We tried a pizza place we were told was pretty good. It wasn't bad but it certainly wasn't "Pepe's" in New Haven Connecticut.
The pizza for the four of us was less than $16 with beverages. We then took a cab to the Banco Central Auditorium and listened to a symphony by the German National youth orchestra. The orchestra is said to be one of the top 3 youth orchestras in the world. The performance was very good and the price of admission (free) was even better. After the performance we caught a cab to take us home and for just a few dollars we had an enjoyable evening.



 I tried to get a couple of shots of the orchestra but I'm afraid the lighting was too low and the camera is only a point and shoot. So this is the best I could do. The video is just a short sample.
