Moving to Ecuador means Learning Spanish
In Ecuador and in California they say, “Quiero estas, estas, estas!” Yesterday we were at Mervyn’s shopping. There was this very cute niña pointing and yelling at her mom “estas, estas, estas”. Damn, I wanted to know what she was saying. With just that one word she was able to make her madre so […]
Moving Sale… Everything Must Go
Moving To Ecuador My plan of moving to Ecuador has certainly taken me out of my comfort zone. The FOR SALE sign went up in the front yard last week and the first people came looking yesterday afternoon. They looked inside and outside the home for more than an hour. There are certain things that […]
Moving to Ecuador
Moving to Ecuador means Learning Spanish and Selling Everything I woke up this morning saying “Buenos dias” to myself and “Como estas”? And my answer was “Me siento bien” (I feel good).

Getting Real about Living in Ecuador
Living in Ecuador When I started talking to my friends about a possible move from California to Ecuador the naysayers came out of the wood work. Out of 20 or so friends and family, only 4 were really excited about my dream of living in Ecuador… The others warned me about all the awful […]
Ecuador is making my brain smarter!
I realized last night that my poor Ecuador blog was not a blog at all. I have mistakenly been adding “pages” instead of “posts”. Learning how to blog is a lot like learning a new language. I have no computer background so even the most basic programing tasks are difficult. A few hours of instructional […]
Time for a Change
The Time For Change is Now “Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things – air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky – all things tending […]
