Metamorphosis: Changing to Retirement in Ecuador. Sunday, September 30, 2012. Myth Busters - Cuenca. We're out and about a lot. Mick is at the Coffee Tree every day, with or without me and we're always amazed at the things they we overhear. Therefore, we thought we'd address some of them, myth busters - Cuenca. There are no dishwashers in Cuenca for less than $2000. Dishwashers are available here for around $500. Myth: Cuenca is the land of eternal spring. It may be an Alaskan eternal spring. Is required...

Metamorphosis: Changing to Retirement in Ecuador. Sunday, October 16, 2011. Catching Up with Fiestas and Yungilla. It's amazing at the difference in the weather as the calendar flipped to October. We've had lots of warm temperatures and sunny skies. One day last week, there was a hale storm, followed by this beautiful rainbow. One night, there was Mexican by Joannie, ole'. We then went just down the street to Monay Shopping for coffee at El Espanol. There were lots of balloons. And gowns and costumes.

Metamorphosis: Changing to Retirement in Ecuador: January 2013
http://mickandkathy.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Metamorphosis: Changing to Retirement in Ecuador. Thursday, January 24, 2013. This month has been a fun month for us. We've done a bit of traveling around. Last week, we left Cuenca for the coast. Janet and David were with us. Our first night was in Guayaquil at the Marriott. Of course we dined at Noe at La Boca in Samborondon. I love the fountain there. In the garden was this little guy. You can't see it very well, but he has a red tail. Janet, David, Mick, and Nikolas. Janet taking pictures on the beach.

Pat and Sue - Exodus and Ecuador. Saturday, February 26, 2011. Our New Digs in Cuenca. Front of the building (our building is the one toward the back) - It has a 24/7 security guard. We are the top floor in the back (the bump out is from the kitchen). The bedrooms are above that. Views across the street (note the island in the river- hence, the name "La Isla" for the building). Another view of the river. From across the river back toward the building (we are the one on the right toward the back). Tonight...

Pat and Sue - Exodus and Ecuador. Monday, April 18, 2011. The Countdown Has Begun! Well, the countdown has begun. We only have 5 days left. We have crossed off almost everything on our list. We even sold Pat's truck today which was one of the big things. I was SHOCKED as you can see:. I couldn't believe that they surprised us, and as you can read from before, we did not make it easy on them. We had a blast and some old and wonderful friends and family were there:. Co-workers from Semonin Realtors. And th...

Pat and Sue - Exodus and Ecuador. Saturday, June 16, 2012. Trip To/From Banos-Ambato #2. We went to Banos/Ambato last week for a week. We had a driver take us there and pick us up. We took some really nice pictures along the way- -both on the way there and on the way home. Here are a few pictures along the way:. This is the oldest church in Ecuador. It was established in August 1534 which is only 42 years after America was discovered by Columbus. It was still in really good shape. We were above the clouds.

We have a yard sale scheduled for this Saturday morning (please no rain! Look at that blue sky! I don't know if you can see the tennis courts there to the right, but we can see them from our windows.

Pat and Sue - Exodus and Ecuador. Thursday, June 14, 2012. Banos/Ambato Vacation at Luna Runtun #1. Last week Pat and I went to Banos (what we call "Big Banos" in Cuenca because there is a small community outside of Cuenca that is also called Banos). We had been trying to get there for the last year. There is a beautiful resort up on the hillside called Luna Runtun where we stayed. Check out a couple of shots as you walked out of our hotel room. 65279;Isn't that the coolest thing? June 15, 2012 at 8:11 AM.

Pat and Sue - Exodus and Ecuador: November 2011
http://patandsuewoods.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Pat and Sue - Exodus and Ecuador. Wednesday, November 16, 2011. This has been a VERY long process. We came to visit Ecuador for the first time last February and met with Gabriela Espinosa (an attorney in Quito) who was strongly recommended by several gringos to help us get our permanent (investor) visas. When we met with her in February, she told us that it would take around 30 days to get our visas. WELLwe finally got the call last week to come to Quito (AFTER they had our passports for almost 9 weeks!
