Growing hemp and consuming hemp products can contribute to a healthier lifestyle, a more sustainable environment, and economic development in agriculture. Hemp seeds are rich in protein, healthy fats (like omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids), fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Hemp-derived cannabinoids have potential therapeutic effects throughout the body. This versatile and sustainable crop requires minimal water and no pesticides to grow and it creates economic opportunities for small U.S. family farms.

Cuenca's Music Scene / Something For Everyone
What is the name of the place where they stayed....close to the Cajas?
I have never seen good baked goods by hispanic countries or its people. It's all basically the same, just different shape of dough covered with granular sugar. No expertise whatsoever. They often sell bread with some sort of meat inside. To me......thats a bread store not a bakery when they sell savory stuff in lieu of sweet stuff.
Technically these were all panaderias, call it what you want. I've enjoyed many sweet and savory opinions, depends on what I'm in the mood for. It's always fresh, unprocessed, and delicious 😋
Yep, I can attest to the cost of living variation. It’s a wide range, I’m 29 and lived here most of my life. Prices have gone up in the past 5 years but it’s affordable for Americans, a nice high end restaurant dinner for 2 is about $90-esh. Cheaper options but still healthy $8. Not a bad place to buy a house or apartment also, a lot of foreigners moving in, prices will probably go up in the next 5 years
The food opinions in Cuenca are great. We've had some wonderful meals in all price ranges. I agree that prices on rentals and real estate are going up. On our first trip in 2021 we could have bought a new one bedroom apartment in the parque de la madre area for 45k. In 2023 that same apartment was selling for upper 90s. We should have bought one, dang 😅
@@ericandsandy Dang that much? I'm currently looking at either land or RE in Cuenca, looks like there's some good opportunity around. I'd pay close attention if another armed conflicts comes up hah!
请问这是在cuenca的什么地方?
It's in the Soldados area. There's a link in the description. Have a great day 😀
@@ericandsandy 非常感谢,我将会去cuenca生活,祝你生活愉快
cuanca is my city. She is totally beautiful...?I can't imagine her being 18 years old. I live in New Jersey, USA???
Yes Cuenca is a very beautiful place. We look forward to returning very soon. Have a wonderful day. Thank you 😀👍❤ 🇪🇨
A suggestion-Lose the fish eye lens.
We don't use a fish eye lens... thanks for watching, have a great one!
Oh I sure hope to get there next year , the empanadas looks so yummy 😋
They were delicious. Hopefully we'll be back by then.
Omg I should've watch this video sooner, so sorry to hear. I'm glad that you're ok, but yes financially that hurts. We miss your videos and I would still watch them even from the states 😉. We can't wait to move there and meet you guys !!
Thank you so much. There will be some more coming soon. Can't wait to meet you either. We'll all go out to lunch when we get back. Talk to you soon
It’s great that you guys love it there❤❤❤. That’s awesome
Thank you so much
I miss you guys.
Thank you. We can't wait to get back.
We LOVE this place! Cannot wait to make this a regular spot when we move down in a year. Just turned all our docs in for our visas. Now we wait
They're so good. We can't wait to get back. How exciting. Hope to see you next year sometime. Safe travels
I was there 3 weeks ago. It was one of the most unusual places I've ever been, but in a good way. The wine was incredible!. thanks for sharing this video.
Agreed. It was different from other places we've been. But we quickly fell in love with the people, culture, and history of the country. I didn't know much about wine or drink much of it before visiting Georgia, now I love it. And Cha Cha! 😁 And we both love love love the food!!! We often talk about our trip, and really look forward to going back. Thanks for watching! Have a great day 😀
I have watched probably 15 videos on this particular location, yours is the absolute best. they should use it for their website.
Wow, thank you very much for the wonderful comment. That place is great. We can't wait to go back. Sandy would go a few times a week if she could 😅👍
I like your videos. But nothing in this video qualifys as food to me. Just unhealthy carbs.
The last place we went in this video I had grilled chicken and ribs. Thanks for watching
Thank you for all your information as we have a planned trip in Aug for 2 weeks.. I hope to visit some of the places you and Sandy recommend.. God Bless yall hope to see more of your videos soon!
Thank you Anne. Have a wonderful trip, we hope you love Ecuador as much a we do. Bring 50+ sunscreen, a black travel umbrella, and a lightweight rain jacket and good walking shoes. We also got Native Organs Altitude Rx from Amazon and starting taking that a week to two weeks before we went to Ecuador the first time. It's all natural. It sure did help with the altitude, for us anyway. Plus drink lots of water when you're there.. take it easy when you arrive.. no big excursions the first couple days. Hope all this info helps you. Safe travels and please let us know how you like Ecuador. Thanks for watching our video and have a wonderful day.
If you still are passing urine through the kidney, not a total blockage, that can be treated non surgically. sorry to hear you went through that. thanks for sharing your story.
That was the problem. I wasn't able to pass urine. The 12mm stone was completely blocking the tube going from my left kidney to my blader. I saw the blockage on the video from the surgery procedure, before and after it was broken up by the lazer they ran up inside me. Thanks for for watching. All our best
Appreciate your time and efforts in vilcabamba....eventually.
Hello...Vilcabamba is on our list. We can't wait to visit it. Actually it was a place on our list to live but we did not want to purchase a car. Thank you for watching our video and hope to talk to you again. Have a beautiful day
I live in Cuenca. How much is this place?
Hi, Estancia Buganey Instagram link is in the description. You can click on that and it will take you to Instagram and you can message them from there. They will let you know the prices. They have a new smaller A Frame available... and building more. So I'm not exact on their prices as of now. Thank you for watching and we appreciate the support. Nice talking with you. Have a great day
Love your channel When are you going back to Ecuador with your wife ?
Thank you very much. We'll be back soon, but not soon enough... all our best 👍🙂
Your video editing is great! My partner is from Ecuador and his parents are here in the US now but are going to retire in Cuenca hopefully soon, what part of town would you recommend to stay in for first time visitors like me?
Thank you very much for the comments. We'd recommend staying anywhere near Parque de la Madre. It's close to el centro, super maxi, restaurants, and more. If you're good with stairs We'd highly recommend our good friend Rene's airbnb. He's a great host, speaks perfect English, and the view is wonderful. This is his link. We hope you have an amazing trip.. Cuenca is a city easy to fall in love with.. All our best,, and safe travels! www.airbnb.com/rooms/17700705?source_impression_id=p3_1718372144_P3E4XZ0OvV-Cv26d
Cheers 🍻
Some of the fruits if you don't prepare right and eat it raw it would taste bitter or not ripe
Thank you. And, thank you for watching. Have a great day
Do you have to pay taxes on the money that you transfer from United States to Ecuador?
We didn't. 👍
El Lindo Ecuador 😍
Si muy mucho ❤ Ecuador 🇪🇨 😁👍
Gracias. I could taste the chocolate croissant & the freshly baked roll with cheese in the middle. I also travel the world stopping at bakeries to indulge my pleasures. Headed to Cuenca in the Fall 2024, I'll be stopping at those bakeries.
There are many bakeries to choose from around town. In general it's a great place with lots of food options in all different budget ranges. The best thing about Cuenca is the people. So kind and friendly. We're sure you'll have a great time. Safe travels, all our best!
😊 love the way you both enjoy food. I should learn that!
We knew the spa treatments would be great, but the food was just as excellent. Cuenca in general is a foodie's dream come true. We truly believe that food is great way to experience and learn about new places, people, and culture. Be sure to check out more of our videos. We usually try and show something yummy in all of them. Thanks for watching! Have a great day 😁
😮 Hi, i just found your videos. They are very enjoyable. You two provide honest and heartwarming content. Please keep up the excellent coverage. Thank you for what you do! The best is yet to come!
Thank you very much and welcome to our community. We're always happy to hear from people that are enjoying our channel. Glad you liked the video. All our best!
Great video, sorry I had to look up the coot thing 😂, sorry Sandy Eric was right here what I found While the American coot resembles a duck, it is not actually a duck species. Coots have chicken-like beaks, legs, and feet. Both drake and hen coots are grey in color but appear black from a distance.
Hahaha! That's right, you tell her, I'm right 😁. The coots have some funky looking feet too 😅
Cuenca is excelent!
In fact, the original hats are from coast town, in Manabí Province, MONTECRISTI.
Thank you for that information. Have a great day
15:59 The last one is called "alfajor".
Thank you. Those are Eric's favorite cookies. Thank you for watching
You miss mangoes. Sadly, it's not the season yet, so Octuber or September. There are different kind of mangoes in Ecuador.
I L❤VE mangoes
Do not peal the pitahaya. Just chop it in half and eat the pulp with a spoon. It's easier that way. Also, red pitahaya has LESS sugar compared to the yellow one. 😂
I learned that about the pink and yellow pitahaya. That's how I usually eat it.. almost like a kiwi. Thanks for the info and watching the video.. we appreciate it. Have a great day
Oye. Eric prueba la badea es una fruta deliciosa en jugos
We can't wait to try it. Thank you for all of your support watching our videos and commenting. Have a good day my friend. Talk to you again soon.
I enjoyed this video a lot!!
We're so glad. Thank you so much for watching
That music in the background haha.. it was the latin style hahah. I loved the video!
You guys are the best I've found in youtube, I hope more people could see this content. Nice family content, I hope to visit Cuenca some day. Send you hugs!
Thank you so much! That is one of the nicest compliments! We're so glad you like our videos. Thank you for your support and comment. We appreciate you very much. Have a beautiful day. Cuenca is a beautiful place.. you won't be disappointed
@@ericandsandy ♡♡♡
In coperativa your money don’t have insurance any time you can loose your money be careful
Thank you very much. We were informed by our advisor at JEP that they insure your deposit up to 35k. That seems to be the standard insurance coverage in Ecuador. Thanks for watching. Have a great day 😁👍
Hi Eric and Sandy! Very informative video. I am from Panama and I will visit Cuenca in August this year, my girlfriend lives there, so I'll spend some days with her visiting Ecuador for the first time. I read that there are a lot of delays from the flights that depart from Cuencas Airport? Have you experience this before? I'll be flying to Guayaquil since it is closer to Cuenca than Quito. My girlfriend told me that is save to take a bus from Guayaquil to Cuenca and viceversa, but I don't know, the highway looks kind of dangerous and heard about earth slides in the middle of the highway. Taking a bus will definetley save me some money that taking two domestic flights with LATAM. What are your suggestions? It will be my first time in the country.
Hi... thank you so much for watching. We have never experienced any delays from Cuenca. We've never taken the bus to Guayaquil but we have friends that take it all the time. It takes about 3 hours by bus. Ecuador is a beautiful country. If the bus is at night you won't be able to see the beautiful countryside..I would take the flight. I guess it also depends on how quick you want to arrive . Have a great time, I hope you're going to love Cuenca as much as we did. Safe travels friend.
La guanábana es una delicia, van a tener problemas con la pitajaya, no se porque nadie les informó al respecto..
Guanabana is my favorite!!! I know about pitahaya being very high in fiber. I used to eat a lot of it in my smoothie bowls in the states
Hay frutas que son muy ácidas y solamente se les prepara para jugo! No todas las frutas se las comen con cuchara. Ay Gringos que no entienden a nuestros países Latinoamericanos jejeje!
😆😆🤣🤣🤣. I only researched how to eat a couple different ones that I didn't know about. We felt very adventurous and just jumped into the unknown. 😆😆😆
Ustedes están comiendo frutas deliciosas de Ecuador. En verdad son frutas muy ricas! Que bueno que estén aquí disfrutando! Bienvenidos!
Thank you so much
What? there's a change machine there? I've lived in Cuenca over 2 years, been to that mercado dozens of times, no is=dea that was there. Btw. best part of that market is getting hornado on the second floor.
Yes... we used it all the time. Sometimes it was out of change.. best to get there earlier in the day. Thanks for watching. Have a great day
Does the insurance cover retirees over 80?
Yes I'm pretty sure they would. The premiums are based on age. Feel free to message Maddy or her team. They are very helpful. Have a great day 😀
What about a debit or credit card? How does that work and how much does that cost?
I'm not clear on exactly what your question is? Yes you can use both of those anywhere that takes cards. Atm fees are usually between $1.50 and $4 usd. Depending on who you bank with in the states those fees could be reimbursed. I know Charles Schwab and Capital One does not change fees and reimburses any fees charged.
