How do you pronounce Cap Juluca?

I'm curious about this because I've heard several different pronunciations but having never stayed there am not sure of what's correct. Any voices of authority out there? Thanks. Threehearts

Thanks, KXR. So the emphasis is equal on all syllables? Threehearts

Sorry to disagree with KXR but there is no "R" in "Cap-Jew-Luke-Ca"

Yes, but where's the emphasis? We tend to say Cap-Jew-LOOK -ah, but what about you?

From the way I've always heard it pronounced, that is correct, Carolyn.

Perhaps KXR is from Maine where we add Rs when there aren't any and drop Rs when there are! I was in a meeting recently where a good Mainer asked the facilitator, "Linder, what's the agender fowa this meetin".

You're absolutey right, Penny, now that I look at the slight difference between Sunnyboy and Carola's pronunciations. Sunnyboy's post is actually the way I've always heard it pronounced.

Hopefully my DH and I will get over there for a long weekend at Cap Juluca one of these days. We keep talking about it.
