Hola,
More than a few people have asked us to include pics of our new home. We will, when we finally have a Sofa and Loveseat. This has been an epic that has been going on since early October. We are hoping this endeavor will come to an end on Saturday the 14th. LONG, LONG story. We will share pics of the house when these last few items arrive. Keep your fingers crossed for us.
The little compound that we live in consists of about 20 homes, it is a gated community. We understand that most of the people here are professionals. There is a home being built two houses down from us, it will have an underground parking area for 9 cars. It was supposed to be finished on April 1st, still not finished. We guess that construction workers are the same worldwide, LOL.
Maybe we will be invited to the housewarming!
So for this entry, we are including a few pictures of what we get to see every day when we stroll with Oscar. It is amazing, when we leave our gated community, it seems like we are in rural Ecuador; we experience farm fields, livestock, hummingbirds, the scent of Eucalyptus trees, and really, really nice people.

| A woman walking down the road, we took this picture from the balcony off of our bedroom. |
 |
| Four little kids waiting for their Mom, the lady in red. |

| Age does not matter, these women are amazing. |

| If you say "Buenos Tartes" or "Buenos Dias", you usually get great smiles. |

| Water pump that is still used for water for the homes |
 |
| We love the hats the women wear. |
 |
| These ladies just laughed and smiled at us. |
 |
| We wish this wan't so blurry, but we include it just because the guy was so happy to have his pic taken. |
 |
| Puppies we found for sale during our walk. |

How cute are these guys??
 |
| We watched these people farm with Cows on yokes plowing their fields. |
Wow, hard working people.
Just a dairy cow, the owners sometimes just tie them up behind our house. Kinda scares Oscar, we open the back gate and there might be a cow or a goat, and Oscar freaks out. Too funny.
Strolling Oscar down a rural road, and then we see this beautiful window, incredible metalwork.
We love this place.

Looks amazing. I hope to have the guts to live outside the US, someday. Stay well :)
Joyula,
So far, this is a lovely album. The photos show the lush greenery and vegetation. The people seem friendly and even the cows look friendly. It is going to be fabulous when you get your Nest completed. I am more than sure, you will make it a beautiful Castle/Palace for your many happy days ahead! I look forward to seeing this album as the future memories are included. Appears, you and John are thoroughly enjoying your new start of a fresh life together in Cuenca. Therefore, I am very happy for you and wish all the best!
Be happy, Be Well M'friend.
